Forums > Living in Kunming > Chinese birth certificate. Has anyone else had problems with Chinese birth certificates when applying for a foreign passport? Our son was born in Kunming and the best BC they could come up with (after 3 attempts) was one where you still couldn't make out 2 letter in his name. My embassy can't accept an unreadable BC, which unfortunately makes perfect sense.
Do you guys have perfectly legible birth certificates or what? Were we just unlucky or interacted with halfwits at our hospital?
Forums > Living in Kunming > English premiere league in Kunming Yesterday was pretty crappy. I could only find one or two half-decent links on all the streaming sites I know combined. I wish Sopcast was still going strong, since I don't have much success with the torrent streaming links that replaced it.
Forums > Living in Kunming > English premiere league in Kunming There are excellent streams over PPTV, Sina and many other Chinese sites. I usually use www.livefootballol.tv to find them. It's very easy and quick. Chinese/Cantonese commentating though. The stream loads in seconds and I've never experienced losing it again.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Kindergarten Recommendation I've taught some kids from Yunda Kindergarten. They were nice and well behaved. I was also there as Santa for a Christmas event some years ago. For Yunnan, the premises looked OK but a little bit cramped. There are private alternatives around Kunming, some of which are franchises of the large eastern seaboard kindergartens chains, but I can't remember having seen any of those located around the Green Lake area. Anyway, Yunda is fine and if you're planning on staying for some years, having Yunda Kindergarten on your kid's resume definitely won't hurt when looking for a good primary school.

On an unrelated note I think China should send their warships to deal with Mr. Morgan-Sweet first before they try do deal with Somalian swashbucklers. The experience and training would be invaluable.
Bomb threat targets Kunming Wal-Mart
Posted by"Hello Walmart service desk. How can I help you? ... A bomb you say? And you want money? You know what? I make 1500 a month sitting here, I am not even allowed to go to the bathroom without telling my superior and you want me to give you x amount of cash? Here is what's going to happen. We'll clear the store and sweep for bombs. The smart money is on that there is no bomb at all. If we pay you we still have to clear the place and sweep for bombs anyway. Oh my,, you didn't really think this through did you? Say hello to the police when they knock on your door. I hear they play a funny game of duo mao mao down at the police station. Is there anything else I can do for you today? ok bye bye schmuck"
Kunming government on global headhunting mission
Posted by"Candidates should be under the age of 40". How typical Chinese,, looking for people with a PhD and lots of experience in the fields mentioned. I think most people get their PhDs in their thirties,, not much time left to build up field experience. It reminds me of how the Chinese employers on job application forms want to know skin colour and demands a picture. At my workplace a woman recently didn't get hired "because she was too tall". Priceless.
