Forums > Living in Kunming > Chinese birth certificate. Has anyone else had problems with Chinese birth certificates when applying for a foreign passport? Our son was born in Kunming and the best BC they could come up with (after 3 attempts) was one where you still couldn't make out 2 letter in his name. My embassy can't accept an unreadable BC, which unfortunately makes perfect sense.
Do you guys have perfectly legible birth certificates or what? Were we just unlucky or interacted with halfwits at our hospital?
Forums > Living in Kunming > English premiere league in Kunming Yesterday was pretty crappy. I could only find one or two half-decent links on all the streaming sites I know combined. I wish Sopcast was still going strong, since I don't have much success with the torrent streaming links that replaced it.
Forums > Living in Kunming > English premiere league in Kunming There are excellent streams over PPTV, Sina and many other Chinese sites. I usually use www.livefootballol.tv to find them. It's very easy and quick. Chinese/Cantonese commentating though. The stream loads in seconds and I've never experienced losing it again.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Kindergarten Recommendation I've taught some kids from Yunda Kindergarten. They were nice and well behaved. I was also there as Santa for a Christmas event some years ago. For Yunnan, the premises looked OK but a little bit cramped. There are private alternatives around Kunming, some of which are franchises of the large eastern seaboard kindergartens chains, but I can't remember having seen any of those located around the Green Lake area. Anyway, Yunda is fine and if you're planning on staying for some years, having Yunda Kindergarten on your kid's resume definitely won't hurt when looking for a good primary school.

Lijiang blaze destroys old town businesses
发布者Sounds like a job well done containing it but I do wonder why the fire marshal and the relevant authorities haven't addressed the narrow streets issue previously. There are plenty different types of light/narrow fire engines specifically built for allowing access to such places, and the cost compared to losing Lijiang's old town in the worst case scenario (and the loss of tourist revenue) is negligible. Sadly, in China it is tradition that things have to get really, really bad before they get better.

发布者",,so I sincerely apologize (after my company suspended me, threatened to fire me and ordered me to apologize). I am willing to compensate."
A stiff apology is a second insult.
