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.
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.

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.
How bad is Kunming's air?
发布者We can argue about temperatures until the cows come home, and for political reasons, many people do. That is why the term 'global warming' has been superseded by the term 'climate change'.
As for the future. An important ecological presupposition is that an environment cannot be destroyed, only modified. The earths environment may be modified to a point where the earth can no longer support human life at the levels we have been used to. What happens then? Perhaps a lot of techno-fixes, to create micro climates that are less stressful for human life.
Perhaps, Africa will become more temperate, and other areas of the globe will become more hostile to life. Perhaps the droughts and famines will visit Europe and the Americas.
In nature, where the environment changes faster than animals can evolve, there is 'cultural evolution'. This is where animals change thier behavior in order to survive. The finches in the Galapagos isands are an example of this, where different species feed at different levels of the same tree, as a way of avoiding direct competition with other species. Personally, I think there is room for humans to undergo more cultural evolution.

发布者Whatever the arguments about global warming.
Whoever is to blame.

发布者Is that the same PLA general who says that bird flu is part of US psyche warfare?

发布者The article mentions the kitchen supply market at DaShangHui.
I thought I had walked all of DaShangHui, but don't recall seeing kitchen supplies.
Can anyone give the exact location?
