Forums > Travel Yunnan > currency exchange certificate for visa application

If you do not give them what they ask for, then that embassy will not issue a visa.
If you have a partial scholarship that is worth less than 2500 USD, then ask the embassy if they will accept a currency exchange certificate for the value of the balance, in addition to the proof of scholarship.

Forums > Study > Is college hard in china ?

It is worth pointing out that getting into, and graduating from postgrad in mainland China is a totally different ball game to undergrad study. As it is in most countries.
I have been told by a Chinese University's Dean that post grad is much more rigorous. She was bemoaning the fact that undergrad students today do not want to work, and don't work as hard as they had to 30 years ago; a generalization on her part. She complained that they still had to pass undergraduate students, as a failure is not acceptable. However, the professors had been allowed to maintain standards in post graduate courses.

Sofitel has a nice restaurant at the top of the building, overlooking Kunming. They might do specials on certain nights, if your budget is limited. They do have a MeiTuan promotion at the moment.

PR 101. Apologize, then find out what happened. It is hard to apportion/accept blame if it is too early to have the facts. If you don't know what happened don't speculate, because if you are wrong it will only come back to bite you. But it is never to early to apologize.

If you don't know what has happened an apology is not an admission of guilt.
From the looks of things OSI have taken action, and are fully cooperating with the authorities to make sure this does not happen again.

As for McD and KFC, they are paying the price for the actions of an unscrupulous supplier. It is unlikely that McD Corp or Yum Brands are in any way culpable. They do not appear to be the villain in this case.
Responsibility ultimately rests with OSI, for poor supervision. There is also the Chinese practice of 'open inspections' (the government inspectors tell you when they are going to visit), and the problem of a legal system where the penalties are not hard enough to be a real deterrent.

Trying to defend or explain it away would be worse PR, as it would look like the old shift the blame game. A favourite tactic in face cultures.

In fairness to OSI, on Sunday they started recalling ALL meat products and withdrawing them from this market.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
