Another reason why some people constantly advertise is that they want to expand, but cannot afford to pay the going rate.
But if advertising is free, they might just get lucky. But then again...
If you can get dinner dancing and champers for 300 rmb, let me know. And if you go to the chicken house you don't tend to pick up stalkers.
I have tried Google but can find nothing on this village or area. Perhaps it is too small.
Please provide more details of where it is. How far from Kunming and is it North, South, East, or West. A map would also help.
There are formal courses in Business Chinese, I have seen the books and posters advertising courses in universities in other cities.
Perhaps if you try contacting Yunnan Normal Uni, MBA Education Centre as it is a teaching Uni. They probably don't run a course, but they might know of someone who does.
In case you are not aware, business Chinese is different to everyday Chinese. Unlike business English, which is an extension of everyday English.
In your post you used the term Business Chinese skills. If you mean by this Chinese business skills/culture, there is only one way to learn that - by experience. But there are many books that can give you some insight, and you might be better off reading on your own.
I am doing OK, but I have a Chinese business adviser who I can trust (hard to find), but I married her.
You can rent a car/minibus and driver. This can end up costing not much more than hiring a car.
It is also more convenient, and takes out a lot of risk, especially if you have not learned the rules of the road (and I don't mean traffic law) in China yet.
However, Spring festival is a difficult time.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
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.
Tomb Sweeping Festival in China
Posted byI found tomb sweeping to be a nice family day out. A branch, or several branches, of the family will visit the tomb and pay respects to the ancestors.
The tomb is cleared of weeds. Firecrackers. There is a small offering of food, wine, money (fake) etc. and some kowtowing. After that it becomes a family picnic, with my family.
All in all a pleasant time out. Not morbid, and very social.
Shangri-la still looking to bounce back after horrific fire

Kunming buses installing wi-fi services
Posted bySome of the old double deckers already have a few tables up top, but I doubt these will be put into new busses. Buses are hugely overcrowded at peak times, anything that potentially reduces bums on seats would not be considered. Anything mobile, like flip down aircraft seat type tables, would soon be broken.
Monkey mayhem descends on downtown Kunming

Exploring Lijiang's countryside: A day-trip to Baisha
Posted byBaisha village has developed a lot in the last 8 years or so, but is still peaceful. The Naxi art museum was very informative and well run. We visited last year and there were even a couple of guest houses and a brew pub.
If the Dongba Kingdom is the place with totem poles (look modern), forget it. It is a privately owned tourist attraction with a 280rmb entrance fee. I walked passed, and from what I could see it appears to be not much more than a glorified visitor centre.
Shuhe has changed and is no longer as quiet as it used to be. However, entrance is now free. In addition you can walk along the dirt road (no cars allowed) from Shuhe to Baisha village. It is a much shorter distance than driving.
