Forums > Living in Kunming > Possible free 2 month visa extension I don't have an answer, but questions that come to mind are:
@AlPage48. When you say local police station. Is that the place where you get your certificate of residence for your area of the city? Or is it just the nearest police station?
@Markus, the same question to you as well.

It would be good to keep this thread focused on the Corona Virus, because it is such an important topic right now, and it is where many visitors to the forum will look first.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Possible free 2 month visa extension I am fine with your use of the word possible. People need to check their own situation for themselves. Because everything is new/irregular to everyone, including the PSB, nothing should be taken for granted we should recognize that everything is potentially open to change.
Personal note: People should check the current situation at the time when they need to act.
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.

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?
