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.
We had mandatory swimming lessons in primary school. One school had a small 25m pool, that sits on the ground and is about 1m deep. But that was 50 years ago.
I heard a story about Dinosaur valley, which may or may not be true. The fancy building you see from the highway is not the actual site, but the efforts of a bunch of entrepreneurial locals who wanted to cash in on the nearby site. It is not connected in any way with the archaeological site.
I think most of us have come across customers we would rather do without. The idea of "firing your customers' has been around for at least 20 years now. www.customerexperienceinsight.com/[...] The days of 'the customer is always right'are long gone.
I used to sail there. There is a small beach on the north shore and a small chicken egg producer. You could smell the chicken sewage in the water as you launched and recovered the boats.
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.
