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.
Kunming to host 2009 China Open minigolf tournament
Posted by"The 2009 China Open tournament will feature top minigolfers from more than 20 countries",, wow. Are they gonna sign autographs after the matches? I've always been a big fan of totally unknown people's autographs. I am a regular stalker at curling and bowls tourneys all over the world. How about a game of Surf Lifesaving: Combining the grace and beauty of watersports with the thrill of cardiac arrest since 1998.
That said the course does look rather mesmerizing,, I might give it a go at some point but I'm not gonna call myself an athlete for doing so.

Kunming-based project aims to make cycling history
Posted byI don't usually complain excessively,, I think I even made a 10 Great things about Kunming post somewhere. I agree though,, I was off topic. This site could use a little debate on the other hand so I don't mind playing the devil's advocate. Dan,, how did you know that I hate spinach? spooky.
Kunming-based project aims to make cycling history
Posted byYou do realize you are actually trying to defend the (of all things) traffic in this fine city? what exactly are "the ideas within"? anyway,, not really looking for a fight. I was just pissed off coz I nearly got flattened yet again today while using a zebra crossing at green light. And don't get me wrong,, I like this place but that shouldn't disqualify me from occasionally being annoyed with potentially life threatening situations. It almost felt like a "You are not Chinese so you don't have the right to say anything"-moment for a second there. :-)
