Forums > Living in Kunming > Evaluation System for Foreign Language Expert

As many things operated by the China Employment administration, another useless, ineffective, not thought through approach to make a problem much worse than it already is.

I saw linguistic majors, graduated teachers with experience, with all the certificates and papers you need to teach but still completely failed in the classroom in any possible way.
And I saw cross career teachers without the necessary documentation, doing a fantastic job.

China doesn't have the luxury to choose. China needs loads of English teachers, certified or not, to fill the demand.
If tesst in China wouldn't be so silly and incompetent they could start their own Certificates depending on who they want.

But going through the expat driver license testing procedure, I don't think that would be something to look forward to.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Missionaries using GoKunming to recruit???

My apologies, Lorena....
I recommend then the contact function instead of posting a thread. A forum might not be the best place if you don't want answers like mine or others.

If you really just want an answer to your OP...here you go.

"YES!"....lol

Hi Lorena,
Sorry to hear about the messages you received.
I dunno how long you are in KMG but I have to tell you, you better get used to the God-Jockeys. This is one of the most missionary infested places in China, the idea that people have their home grown religions here doesn't fit most of the religious leaders overseas.

So they send their Army(s) of God(s), fortunately illegally (...praise god for that, no pun intended) to correct what they think is wrong, and meanwhile, doing very well in the more earthly matters.

So I can only give the advise to get used to it, this is prime real estate for preachers here and the Kumnming market is hot. So many people to be guided away from the "Wrong" path.

You could also report it to certain government offices in China and get them deported but a new contingent is just waiting back oversea to jump in. But even I (contra-missionary) considers that as unethical. Plus they sit in Commerce Chambers and Embassies, you don't want to get on their radar.

Besides, the Jesus-Rangers, it could also be just the 'normal' spam I got some weird emails as well, about helping some boy somewhere in Nepal. I checked the email account online and it was marked a spam all over the continent.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Using my Beijing sim card in Kunming?

@Tonyaod:
True it's not the cheapest but I travel a lot in China, thus I need the roaming free service and 3G with the higher download rate (for all the porn, haha), so it's worth the extra bucks.
I had the same problem as GOODMORNING, I moved from Beijing to KMG but wanted to keep my number, and since the plan costs the same in KMG. I didn't see why I should change it.
Also I need to make more calls than I have to message, but Unicom is pretty cool in customizing plans as well. I mean if you feel like changing minutes to messages, I'm sure they have some options.
They actually have 4 different 3G plans I chose the one just below premium but the plans start with 89 kuai if I remember right!

@TigerTiger:
Very good point, I think if you go with CM or Unicom getting top-up cards is no problem in most provinces, even in smaller towns.

Plus a lot if chinese medz are equally useless. I went to a pharmacy once having a migrane attack and they tried to sell me a painkiller that becomes effective after 7days. Some parents feed their kuds cild medicine for 4 weeks and praise their effectiveness...while the kids still sniffle like coked up rabbits.

Actually most western medicine is not chemical just working ingredients extracted an processed into pills and liquids. Similar to chinese medz these days.Not surprising that even the toughest western medz are almost completely natural e.g. thats cancer chemo.

If you are worried about the crap that is in western medz, then i wouldn't go chinese style.

I used a lot of TCM and the chinese medz were always at least twice as expensive as the western medz. Plus in europe you don't have to care aboyt the price tag,since you healthcare plan takes care of it.

I love people praising TCM becasue it's so mild and less aggressive than the Western counterpart.

I read about Chinese Medicine especially in Chine, it's so tainted with pollutants and pesticides that Western, including Taiwan and HK phyician rethinking the TCM products. It's so beautiful how ineducated the common Chinese person is. I had a chat with a parent that was talking nonstop about the benefits of TCM and how terrible Western medz are I told her that more than 2/3 of the TCM is highly polluted and you can't boil fry or properly wash it because it would take away the ingredients.

The areticle said the clean or npolluted one is for Export due to higher food safety standards and even then a lot is still fished out of the market.

I used both medicines in my life both I can handle quite well but I am switching to more Western Medz if needed. At least it's clean...er.
Although I love the bitter taste of TCM.

I wish Yunnan would have a better cradit/loan system, disregarding nationality. So that smaller and maybe smarter start-up's could bring new innovations and ideas and thus quality into all sorts of products and services.

As well as a more efficient and fairer taxation system for small or start up companies, like in many European states.

This province could be the innovative engine of this country. If they would try to attract through tax and loan benefits, plus that would bring more income for the state as well.
It for sure, has everything it needs from weather, location, geography, etc.
Just think about all the industries you could possibly build, and run here, (except of course ocean related industries). Ahhhhh..... just dreaming.

Sorry this probably belongs into the forum section...But just to clarify and thanks to overrated reviews I went to CC with high expectations to get some delicacies, I wanted to surprise my wife with a delicacy and there was absolutely nothing that Parkson, Metro or Carrefour don't have.I don't like Chorizo so there has to be more than just that to make me give 5 stars.Plus I already gave them 3 stars, for the very positive things I experienced.There are no products that other shops don't offer, except if their products are home made but I didn't see any labels stating it's organic or home made.For the cold cuts I found as well as the cheeses are all (or most) available at other stores.I didn't know that they make sandwiches and I will give that a try especially knowing that Sandra is involved in the making which usually leads to a yummy tummy.But again as delicacy shop it's very unimpressive and as stated before I believe it will get better. So I am not bashing it but trying to help the owners to give some ideas not just applause because I like Sandra's food...which I do.So I recommend to give realistic reviews. 5 stars just because you like one item there will just disappoint potential CC patrons that are not going for Sandwiches or Chorizo.It's a shop with tons of potential and I will come back to try the Sandwich and see what else they will have in future. But giving more than 3 stars for what I saw wouldn't be fair.

I went there and all the fake Ikea (furniture) items were almost twice as much as the originals at Ikea. The fixing guys are good but as mentioned above at least need a week or two to drill 4 holes in the wall.

The little knick knacks are ok and reasonably priced. For real furniture, I wouldn't buy there. Better and cheaper options available. But good for cheap and nice decorations and accessories.

I practiced there for a few weeks but unforntunately I had to stop, due to relocation.
It's a good school but what I didn't like was the Martial Arts blend between traditional kungfu and modern wushu, similar to the Henan one.
But I still like it for the good exercise, staff and classmates.

I am not sure if there are actually some real kungfu monks, so if you are looking for the full martial package, you might get disappointed, as almost anywhere in China.

Be aware that practice is not in the temple but in a kungfu school one block away

That said, it is in my opinion the best choice in Kunming to practice the closest to real martial arts (besides taiji). And it's very reasonably priced.
