I can recommend the store next to China Merchants Bank on Dong Fang Dong Lu. Near the crossroads with Bai Ta Lu (I think) close to the Thai Consulate on the same side of the road.
It was recommended to us by a Kunmingnese. It is not a cheap place, but they have the full range of teas. Unlike a lot of the cheap places, you get what you have paid for.
They do the full tasting. We spent about 2 hours there and they never showed any impatience or tried to hurry us up, even though it was passed their closing.
Yep, there are 1300 questions to learn.
But some are the same question written differently in different sections.
Other questions are grouped and so are easier to learn
e.g. What is the speed limit on [a type of road].
A: 30 kph
B: 40 kph
C: 50 kph
D: 70 kph
All 4 answers are used for different types of road.
Some others always have the same answer, for example on the spot fines for driving offences. Are always the same amount, if it is on the spot.
The road signs are a bit trickier.
For example, there is one sign for a crosswalk.
The question is 'What type of sign is this?'.
One of the answers is for a crosswalk.
However the correct answers is that it is an advisory sign. Why? because it is square.
Primary-middle school is free in state schools, but many headmasters take bribes if the school is a bit better and parents seek it. I am not sure if education is free if you don't have a Hukou for the same city as the school is in.
However, there are many 'experimental' schools which are run as private enterprises. They will always be cost focussed, and looking to maximise profits by charging for anything.
You probably couldn't get a mandate to redevelop an area and build an underground shopping mall. Especially if it causes major disruption.
There is an existing mandate to build bomb shelters, and there are added benefits to both the infrastructure and opportunities for business that can be captured too :-)
My university and tertiary students only had lectures between 8am and noon, Many didn't even turn up for lectures, but would turn up for exams. There is an old joke in China, that university is hard to get in (Gaokao), but easy to get out (very hard to fail). I was told by my Dean, in one provincial level uni., that if SS failed and exam they would resit up to twice and would be given an automatic pass after the second resit.
At a tertiary college in Kunming, I had about 30 regular SS out of 60 on the register, but 110 turned in exam papers. Half of them scored less than 30% (and I had pretty much told them the answers and where to find them (in the PPTs I gave them). Lo and behold, I was told by management that the SS all had to pass, including the guy who got 9%.
The problems of students staying in the dormitories, not working and playing computer games has been in the Chinese news several times in recent years. Unless the authorities have got a grip of this recently, I doubt it will have changed.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
