I've used both Xiaomi 2 and Xiaomi 3. Fantastic deal if you can get it directly from their website, but ordering it online at another store is usually only 100 to 200 kuai more.
Unfortunately it only has English and Chinese. The English isn't too bad, although a bit technical at times.
The only thing I don't like is that from the original to the 3rd they seem to come with more and more junk software preinstalled. Fortunately most of it can be deleted.
By default it doesn't come with the Google Play store either. I've installed it on Xiaomi 2, but never tried to install it on the Xiaomi 3.
Xiaomi also provides a place to download other roms. Though I don't think the stock android ROM has been updated lately, and not sure what languages it comes with... But here is the site if you want to try yourself: rom.xiaomi.cn/
The biggest concern is stability for having a baby. Which means a home without a loan, and a stable job. If you also don't drink, gamble, and smoke then you will have no problems.
Unfortunately you aren't going to find a home at a reasonable price in a big city here. Only if you're from New York or London you might think the prices are only a little insane instead of downright ridiculous.
Try changing the encryption settings in your torrent software. Usually there are three: required, try/attempt, and none.
Sometimes you have to wait 15 or more minutes to get fast speeds. Generally the first few attempts at connecting will be blocked.
I use ExpressVPN, but usually don't require it for torrents. Sometimes for less popular torrents, such as Linux distros in beta, I will connect to VPN for five minutes and then disconnect the VPN.
As for VPN connection issues, I find rotating between four or five countries works best. I try not to connect to the same country more than once within one day.
I know Hong Kong stores on Taobao will ship macs to China. Legally they're supposed to declare it in shipping. Upon arrival(or beforehand?) import tax must be paid.
I guess some try to ship it undeclared, but if customs find out they will hold it until the tax is paid.
Huh? How is Yunnan distinctive from rural areas in any other country with a centrally controlled economic system(which is pretty much any "modern and developed" country today)? How is The Brother's Jiang expanding everywhere in Yunnan different from Starbucks trying to expand in Yunnan?
Do you think Iowa has lost its distinctness because of all the Mexican and Chinese restaurants that have opened up? Oh wait, even though they almost all serve the same food, and their suppliers are almost all the same... it's so much better because they all have a different name... cripes, it's just marketing.
You can go to any city in Yunnan and you will see the same products being sold in all of them. What does it matter if the name of the store is in Chinese or in English? Does this somehow prevent you from speaking to the people who work there? Does it stop you from taking your time? It's just a marketing symbol, get over it.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Starbucks to market Yunnan coffee in China outlets
