Hi everybody,
I was planning on getting my health certificate for my next visa extension tomorrow. I was looking through the forums to check any information on the whereabouts of the foreigner health certificate bureau, but was unable to find anything. It is supposed to be close to the airport. Is there anybody who is able to clarify this location?
Thanks very much!
I remember the old Uprock had this really nice wooden dance floor. I never made it back there, but if the new place is equipped with something like this, I definitely will. (considering the music is agreeable)
hi,
You can extend your visa 3 times in Kunming. Every time you will get one more month. After that you can go to HK or take the (40 hour) bus to Vientiane, Laos and apply for a new 90 days tourist Visa. I'm also looking for a work visa, and before I just did like this. It's doable, you can stay in China for half a year and then go out for about a week or so. Neighboring countries are also fun, so see it as a holiday :-)

This place is without doubt my favorite restaurant in Kunming. It is truly Simao-style, but adds its own unique touch. The ingredients vary per week and the ingredients are all carefully sourced in specific markets or brought straight from the mountains. Their wild vegetables are always sweeter than other places in Kunming. There are plaques on the wall that say: "we don't feel the need to enhance the flavor with weijing or jijing, we do our best to source the best natural foods for you". You will not see any grease after finishing the plate, not even with the deep fried dishes. They are very flexible with ordering combinations and the super-friendly owner-chef will be happy to step out of the kitchen and give you some great advice. If he has time, because this place is crowded on most evenings. Service is friendly and attentive (but it is still Kunming). You get free home-made kimchi and apple vinegar with all meals. They have cold Fenghuaxueyue beer. Without doubt a safe Chinese eatery, really delicious food, friendly people who are passionate about their product. A true gem, in my opinion.
I heard Richland Hospital has proper testing material.
I think the medical staff is of the same level as other Kunming healthcare facilities. I needed to translate some specifics of a medical report I got in another specialized hospital. I wanted to do this by letting the Richland doctor have a phone call with the specialized doctor that had done the tests. I came in and there sat a young physician with a translating nurse. When the phone call to the other hospital wasn't successful he wanted to have look at the report himself. I asked if that would make sense if he wasn't a doctor that was specialized in that specific field. He told me he wanted to have a look anyway. To my horror, he promptly misdiagnosed me with a truly appalling disease. When I came home I was puzzled. I didn't have any symptoms, how could I have something that serious. I checked the internet and found out that the condition that he described DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. Well, I have to give him, he had me stressing out there for a minute. I wanted to confront him with his mistake but apparently all the doctors had taken the weekend off. Eventually, in combination with my visit to the other state run facility, I was in constant uncertainty and stress over the period of 4 days for something that turned to be NOTHING. I had NOTHING.
Please use the highest level of common sense in dealing with local healthcare. The situation is grim. Best to let them test (if the facilities are ok) and make conclusions and decisions by yourself, if serious ask a physician in another country. Never blindly trust anything they say.
Really friendly people, very tasty proper Indian food, all made with fresh ingredients and very reasonably priced.
For sure the best Indian food in town!

Yunnan reveals extensive four-year aviation plan
发布者Hahaha, 50 airports! Maybe because they have to build every airport twice because they tend to build them in the wrong places first.
By the time they finish their plans all the effort will be in vain because teleporting will have been invented.
