The Book Club is returning. It's first meeting will be Wed, 15 March. Place: THE PARK, inside the Lotus Temple, Cui Hu Park. Time: 6:15 pm. Book: THE PSYCHOPATH TEST, by Jon Ronson. You can find a copy in your favorite torrent site.
Last time I needed this, I got a friend back in the US to contact the local police in the town I had previously lived in and ask for a background check in their records. Supposedly my friend was thinking of hiring me for some odd jobs.
The local police do this sort of thing routinely, and sent my friend a form with "no criminal record" checked. My friend sent it to me, I gave it to my waiban office and they passed it on to the local visa bureau, and I got my Z visa.
I have not had to get a new "No criminal history document" since then.
Thanks everyone.
Anyone taken the bus to Chengdu? Is it much worse than the train?
I need to file for a new US passport sometime soon, but I'm not eager to waste my vacation in cold, rainy, Chengdu. Is there some commercial service that I can pay to file for me?
I can fill out the forms, etc.
No results found.

发布者Isn't he on record as saying killing random Iraqis didn't matter cuz they were from the 12th century? Somehow I doubt he thinks much of East Asian lives, either.
Provincial audit reveals enormous government waste in Yunnan
发布者It's been obvious some people in KM have a lot of money in a rather poor province. I'd suspected smuggling as a source of wealth, but now I'll add major corruption to my list.

Yunnan official raises issue of illegal immigration at National People's Congress
发布者NB: Jingpo people are more usually called Kachin in English. The present-day border cuts the Kachin area in half, but borders in even the recent past were not fences, keeping people in or out. The "Burmese" refugees maybe ethnic Kachins joining distant relatives.
Hongshan outdoor street market closes permanently
发布者"A sad but inevitable part of progress."
There's no such thing as progress, only change. Nothing is inevitable save death, either.
Outdoor markets obviously meet needs or they would not exist. Walmart/Carre Four are not likely to eliminate them soon, save by force.
