Forums > Living in Kunming > Paranoid about postage... Howdy, I'll be cycling to KM as well, from Thailand.
Will be sending three boxes 49x39x47, total weight about 65kg. Contents include clothing, shoes, books, about 100 CD's (that were mailed out of China a year ago), and a notebook computer. Total value ~US$1000.
Are there customs duties to be aware of, and if so, is there an exemption for those arriving on a WORK visa?
I know that large boxes posted to Kunming are held for pickup at the main post office. Will Fedex deliver to a residence or business, or are these subject to hold and personal pickup as well?
Forums > Living in Kunming > How to find an Appartment in KM? oops, ignore the above. landlord now tells me he's
undecided as to whether he will rent out again after
i leave, maybe wants to move relatives in.
sorry for any inconvenience........
Forums > Living in Kunming > How to find an Appartment in KM? i'm leaving kunming around the first of august, my 2br
apartment runs until the 14th. it's located within five
minute walk of carrefour, on convenient bus lines to
the universities or beichen area....about five stops in
either direction, can get to either of the elcec campuses
within 25 minutes. if you're interested and want more
information, see below for contact info. i'll get you in
touch with the landlord.
avoid the real estate agents and save yourself one
months rent agency fee. current rent is 700/month,
apartment is CLEAN and has a large kitchen, bathroom
has tub and western toilet. i'm currently out of the area
renting a new apartment, but will be back in kunming
by the weekend to start packing.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Olympic Torch in Kunming ah yes, the police added don't bother going to either
location, as they were restricted to invitation only.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Olympic Torch in Kunming just one day off? you got it easy. i've been told from
someone who knows someone, that the general manager
of carrefour was invited to run in the kunming relay. so
after he flies in from france, he's disinvited at the last
minute.
friends and i were waiting along beijinglu for the torch,
but police told us the run through the city was cancelled,
simply having relays at the expo garden and the
minorities theme park.
we suspect they did this in response to rumors of tilblet
protesters, but who knows.....
