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.
Recipe: Eggplant cooked in red sauce
发布者One of the reasons I like China is the food and especially how they manage to make vegetables both tasty and interesting to eat. Yu sang quizi, Gong bao quezi, Hongshao quezi and all the variants,, great taste (although a bit on the oily side),, back home I would never eat eggplant. Here I don't mind ordering nothing but vegetable dishes and cut out the meat. Unthinkable in my native country's bland cuisine.
Thumbs up for this site's Yunnan recipe corner.

6.0 earthquake shakes Yunnan
发布者According to China Daily 18.000 homes/buildings collapsed and one person was killed. Sounds odd that only 1 person has died so I expect the death toll will rise quite a lot over the next couple of days.

发布者That was one happy python I bet.
"CBA director Xin Lancheng singled out foreign players as being one of the league's major problems, saying they were overpaid and hard to manage, adding that rules regarding foreign players would be revised."
Typical. Blame the foreigners for not bending over backwards for their employers. 19 of 20 on the top scorers list were foreigners you say? How does that fit with them being "overpaid"?
