I have to agree with everything @Haali said above. My experience too.

The is bureaucracy with Chinese characteristics. The person who originally said yes, did not have the decision making power, and she was overruled. It may be an internal policy issue, it may be a subjective matter, it may be based on your application. Whatever the reason, trying to find out the actual reason could well be a fruitless endeavor. It is quiet normal here for people in authority not to give a reason, and they won't budge. The woman probably cannot answer you, either because she does not know, or she is not at liberty to tell you. It is pointless embarrassing her further by pushing for a reason, because that is likely all that can really be achieved within the culture (face). It is also quiet possible that you would not be given the real reason, also normal here.
Sorry for your disappointment. The best thing may just be to move on to plan B.
It is possible that this cannot be fixed in Kunming. A trip to Qingdao may be on the cards.
On problem is China is about jurisdictions (fiefdoms). One district will not have a mandate to work on issues that really belong in another.
Start planning for a trip to Qingsao at least. Check out the Chinese version of AirBnB (someone on here will know the name), as this will be cheaper than hotels. Unless you still have friends in Qingdao that you can stay with. That way if you have to go, you are ready to do so at the drop of a hat.
A good result :-)
Worth knowing for future people sending stuff home.
Good luck at the PSB, I hope things continue to go smoothly for you all.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
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.
Heavy rains wreak havoc around Yunnan
发布者Not sure if the question is serious, but here is a serious attempt at an answer.
In the last month or so we have had a lot of rain over a prolonger period, and it has helped a lot. But there has been a 4 year deficit of rainfall vs water use. This has depleted water stocks.
Water stocks consist of rivers and lakes, reservoirs, and most importantly ground water. To replenish the stocks there needs to be rain over a prolonged period. Long periods of consistent light rain are far better at replenishing water sources than heavy rain over short periods.
Shorter periods of heavy rain increase surface water. In urban areas, the concrete buildings and roads prevent the rain water from going into the ground and you get floods and most of this runs off into water courses.
In non-urban areas the surface water can run over the ground with only a small percentage actually soaking in. There is also run off to water courses, flash floods etc.
Water courses, including rivers and many shallow lakes don't really store the extra water, it just runs through.
Where there are deeper lakes and reservoirs water is stored, but this is only a small part of the water reserves.
It takes time for water to permeate the deep ground to replenish aquifers.
Not a perfect answer, I know.

I echo everything @Adrian said.

发布者As a demi-tarian, I must confess that I do seem to fart more on my veggie days.

发布者Visited one just over the border in Guizhou. The pans had not been flushed and there were piles of poop. There was a matong (a sitter shiter) but it was smashed, like have the bowl was gone and jagged edges. No seat (obviously) and it had been used. Build up of green gunk on the porcelain suggest a time lag since any real cleaning had been done.
I think the governer will be regretting his off hand remark, not realising it would go on record.
What ever happened to the 2 flies rule?
