My fault for poorly phrased response in the first place.

They probably lots the records in a move, or the admin bunny who works there cannot find a record. No visible proof means it did not happen, they will not admit to losing anything, FACE.
You have a record of at least having paid, but that is history, you are concerned about the now.
As for the free semester, it is your word against theirs. You can't win that one. The person who made the offer has either left, or been forced by their boss to recant. FACE.
If you do not continue study they are legally obliged to cancel the visa. I am sure that you don't want to give them money to continue study, but they will not give you free tuition.
What you could do is find another school that is willing to give you a study visa. I doubt you will be blacklisted as this is a dispute between customer and vendor.
I don't know how you are talking to them, but I would use email. That way there is a paper trail. Telephone calls are deniable.
The model used in UK is to fine the bar owner. This way the bar owners have to do the policing, as there is always someone who will report you in UK.
The smoking ban decimated the pub industry in UK, as it was already weak from high tax on booze and low price beer at the supermarket.
We shall have to see how it pans out. But some laws prove to be unenforceable here and are dropped by popular demand. Remember the thing with registering the ebikes a couple of years ago? That was unworkable and was dropped.
Define tasty????? Um!
By 'you get what you have paid for', I mean that you don't buy 10 year old tea and get home to find it is only 3 year old, or a different grade from what you were told.
Pu'er is like wine, people buy it and then put it down for a few years. There is no limit on price. You can easily pay over 10 000 for a brick. But I am sure that the staff will be able to find you something to your taste and in you price range, however much that is.
I see Raffles are advertising for a teacher. Does anyone have an opinion on them?
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.
Jianshui: southern Yunnan's cultural gem
Posted byGreat article.
The place is well worth a visit.
I had the pleasure of visiting last year. The old town is a bit like Dali without the tourists. Food and service are also good in hotels and restaurants, perhaps service ethic influenced by the old confucian culture. We didn't get price gouged either.
The area is also famous for its pottery. Some of it is really nice.
Tuanshan is great and well worth the money. Compared to other Yunnan sites (150+) it is good value too. Tuanshan is largely intact and un-modernised. You can actually see original painted beams with gold leaf, those that are in the shade are still very colorful.
Kunming-Shanghai railway delayed until 2016
Posted byThe posh new stations have different gates, but these bullet trains stop at many stations on route, that are not super modern. The trains then stop at regular ungated platforms, however the train stops on a mark, and the passengers are pre-lined up at the appropriate marks on the platforms.
I am glad for the delay. That should mean more time spent constructing the tracks to the standards required, and not just a rush to finish the line asap, with possible associated construction quality issues.
Recipe: Turmeric dumplings in pu'er tea
Posted byActually, if you go the the 3.5 website they have some nice recipes there. It is in Italian, but Google chrome translates it.
I will give the recipe a go. It can't be worse than some of the stuff I have been told to eat.
