Forums > Living in Kunming > China business visa

Actually, being married to a Chinese national, will still require you to renew the visa every six months. But that's better than 30 days. Not that I recomend it.

It seems, to me, a bit odd that your Kunming company is registered in Beijing. The intense bureaucratic red tape from the officials at the Business Registration place will not be an easy route. Perhaps the Beijing registration is a national registration, that I'm unfamiliar with. That's China, as they say!

I'm sure someone else will provide a good answer - good luck.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Bombs on busses

I can't add to this story, but reading the phrase by TheSwedishGuy, "Kinda wonder who is behind these bombings by now ..." causes me to repeat a question: Is anyone surprised?

Access to print and Internet media information with PRC sources and published outside the PRC indicates to me that there is huge unrest in the countryside (even in Hong Kong, to a slightly lesser extent). Of course, the Olympics is making protestors more courageous, but they'll still be there post-olympics.

There are Tibetans, Mongolians, farmers who have had their land stolen (to say confisgate, simply legitimises it), etc., in Kunming. Please don't be surprised.

Let's try again!

Export license not required for used personal goods. I'm assured that you simply need the Bill of Lading which they will e-mail to you once it has been authorised in Guangdong.

Air-Sea Transport Inc. can pack for you or will supply anything needed to help you pack yourself. My shipment is now on the train to Guangdong and they did a good job of the packing.

Ground transportation costs are a concern because (I think) that they don't have close contacts with offices throughout the world and, thus, prefer that you take responsibility for that. I don't know how big your shipment is but 'thousands' of dollars for the land transport sounds high to me.

Bonded warehousing and transport. In my case, although Vancouver is the Port of Entry, bonded transport is used to my city of Toronto where their bonded warehouse permits checking by Customs -- most cities throughout the world have bonded warehouses. It'll take ages for your shipment to be checked in L.A., which is why I believe that it'll go to Raleigh (or nearest) Customs.

My payment is for shipment to Toronto -- this is my prefered method as I don't have a delivery address right now.

Hope this helps.

Mmm, would I be wrong in suggesting that if Tibet and Mongolia, etc., was an internal matter for China, then, what the French do in France must also be an internal matter?

Such contracts are totally unbelievable and doomed to failure.

There are insufficient pilots being schooled in the world as a whole and the Chinese situation is the worst. Current Chinese orders for new aircraft will quickly absorb the graduation of new pilots and the expected orders for the next few years makes the future pilot shortage quite critical -- actually, it's critcal now.

My advice to Chinese airlines is: Move into the 21st Century!

If anyone has tried to travel around this construction area during peak times (from 7:00 am to 10:00 am, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, and 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm) or the one-way triangle involving 121 Street, one can't help wondering at the qualifications of the 'designers'. It seems that they may simply have a graphic arts education and skills in accepting 'gifts' (from the traffic police).

I loved this quote: "He said that there was still work to do to convince Myanmar's ruling military junta that the dams would not be a problem for Myanmar, adding that he didn't think that would be a problem." I wonder if it should have been highlighted? Additionally, I wonder, does the UNESCO's World Heritage List serve a purpose? :(

Although not a review, permit me to address 'dianjing' and 'Ouyang'.

Surely, it would be better to obtain the visa prior to coming to China. Is it probable that your friend's problem was his and not the school's?

Rating, anything, on this Website without a review is useless ... at best.

My personal experience of KUST is their proverbial dislike of Foreign Experts.

Hello Dima; Many will welcome your arrival as the new manager. I hope that you will provide the cook with some assistance during peak hours. Some will be unhappy with the three-week closure, but you might tell them to visit Dan Di Cafe for a similar menu, if only temporarily.

Hey 'bucko', you must be fair, this restaurant is better than any place on Wen Lin Jie which you rated higher. Expensive? Try Green Lake Hotel. Small portions? Try Mazagran. It's all relative.

Although this is one of my favourite restaurants in Kunming, I find it necessary to warn the management that having a fourth floor extension has taken things one step too far (actually, about 70 steps!).

In my opinion, by extending the business, both the hard working kitchen and waiting staff are unable to maintain the original food quality and level of service.

A recent visit presented us with a luke warm fruit/mutton curry that comprised many pieces of fat and gristle, and a half tandoori chicken that had two legs (?) and not much else -- this dish would satisfy three people last year.
