Forums > Living in Kunming > teeth cleaning in kunming? should I? I've also been to the Huiying clinic. Excellent work and no pain during the cleaning. I had some work done there on my previous visit to Kunming, then had the work checked by a dentist in Toronto who is a teacher at the U of Toronto dental college. She said it was excellent work.
I'll be back there this week for a root canal. It's the only place I would trust in Kunming.
All their dentists speak English which is a real bonus for me.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Visa extension in Chiang Mai, Thailand We did L class visas in Chiang Mai last November. The consulate was very efficient - but.....
1. Standard time for completion is on the 4th day. You can pay a fee for faster service, including same day.
2. When we were there the consulate was closed on what would have been the 4th day. Not sure why.
3. Be careful getting there. I had a TukTuk driver who thought I said 'Condo', not 'Consulate' and got driven all over the place. This was critical since I was trying to get there before closing time on the only day I could go.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Looking for list of decent private schools in KM to work at I've actually heard a lot of BAD things about Henderson. They've been in the news quite a bit the past few months for overcharging clients or charging for services where fees were not stated up front. It's got the locals in a snit and looking for other schools as well as generating a few law suits.
Kunming orders English added to outdoor signs
发布者This "strict new regulatory regime" appears to not be working. There are many new shops in our area, including a new Pizza Hut, with Chinese only signs. I guess it's another of those new rules that were created but failed on the implementation.
China considered Myanmar drone strike during manhunt
发布者That statement about "drop TNT" may have been taken out of context (or lost something in the translation. The picture of the drone clearly shows missiles are attached.
City may eliminate cigarette sales near schools
发布者Tigertiger, you must be younger than me. When I smoked as a boy there were no restrictions. We just made out purchases out of sight of parents. Times have changed.
City may eliminate cigarette sales near schools
发布者A day after the new law went into effect we were in a restaurant where ash trays were on the table and people were smoking. We mentioned the new law to the employees. They had not heard about it!
Additionally, the law provides for a minuscule fine to the smoker of only 10 RMB. If they want to stop smoking in restaurants their needs to be a very large penalty to the owners of the establishment. Same for taxi drivers, who are usually the people found smoking in the taxis.
Some amount of enforcement might help!
