I still don't understand what white rabbit you are talking about, or what it's got to do with anything. So some of the candy was contaminated - so that's not good - so: what?
I really got no idea. Explain it to us.
@Peter: Russia? White rabbit? China? USA?
Is that a Buddhist charity?
Peter, what is it you were trying to say?
No results found.
Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.
As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.
Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.
Too bourgeois.
Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.
Rural Yunnan township takes flak for alcohol ban

Saying goodbye to old friends: The ballad of Cas and John
Posted byMany of us who were around in the early 2000's are well aware of just how important John and Cas have been in the development of the local Western-derived local music culture - over the past 13 years there have been others as well, whom I do not mention here by name, despite their significance, simply out of a desire to be brief - but those who have come later and are not all that familiar with this development should understand that the Kunming laowai scene they found on arrival was the product of a lot of people and events that should entire history as we should know it.
I occasionally go to Chiang Mai, and I do not for a moment believe that this story, of music and enthusiasts and good irrascible performers, has come to and end - it's just spreading out.
Stories come to an end, but people are part of a longer phenomenon that does not.
Yunnan authorities discover girl who spent five years tied to wall
Posted byIncomes and social services and education in rural areas, in China as well as in a great many places, are appalling, not in comparison to what they once were, but in comparison to what they could be if the economy and the state worked well to put resources where they are needed.
