I saw that thread, yes. I realize china isnt perfectly safe, no place is. And yes I have considered the costs. Since shes an american dog it will cost a lot less to transport her if I take the right airlines. The quality of life in the US isnt much better than here, there are barely any jobs and the police are so strict that I fear them more than any other person.
Well maybe this is more of an issue farther from wenlinjie. I wouldnt dare take her away from this area, but it seems that this side of town is very safe for a dog in terms of worrying about one of us being harmed by an unleashed animal. All of the large dogs i have seen after living here for 3 months are leashed and well trained. Also, when traveling back to China from the US, i would be on the same flights as her. Wouldnt that make a difference? My main concern is her being confiscated as she is a lab mix and I havent established if she could potentially be labelled a 'dangerous' breed. It just seems hard to believe since I constantly see well trained dogs here that are on the banned list...itd be a massive undertaking for the kunming police to try to eradicate them and I dont see it possible for them to seriously try starting that endevour as they are already pretty frickin lazy.
Coming to kunming helped me to realize how the US isnt the land of opportunity anymore and that life can be enjoyable without breaking your back over work. Also, it helped me learn to be extremely adaptable to whatever strange situations I might find myself in and to take things a day at a time.
This is really terrifying, I am wanting to stay in China but in order to do that I need to go back to the US to bring my white lab mix over here. Pretty sure shes half white shepherd because shes very slim and pure white. She is about 52 pounds and a petite girl, I planned to go through Korea air so I can avoid quarantine. Would she be safe from confiscation? Where can I access the posters of banned dogs so I can make sure she doesnt look like them? I live on wenlinjie and I see tons of large dogs with their owners, all friendly and well behaved and kept secured on leashes. If something happened to her Id never live it down. Shes also a service animal trained to bring me my medication.
Well I went to haoheng. Definitely a really nice gym, only thing is, they wouldnt haggle with me at all. They were asking 1100 for 6 months and I tried to talk them down to 900, then to 1000, but they wouldnt budge. Not sure if I should go back and try and talk with someone else or what. i dont think its a bad deal but 1000 was really the most I wanted to pay.
Well according to my chinese friends the bans didn't work and everyone still has these large dogs so my point stands. There are bad breeders all over the world, doesn't mean breed bans are effective ways of preventing there from being dangerous dogs due to poor training. Btw, almost any dog that has bad training can be retrained to be good. But whatever, my opinion doesn't even matter anyways. China does as China does and rightly so.
Lemon that's a bunch of false info, i've had dogs people called aggressive my whole life and they're sweet dogs. most people wanna raise dogs well but don't know how. community education programs would be awesome, or having people apply for permits to own these dogs instead of banning. i don't get why the muzzle law wasn't enough, no dog can bite w a muzzle on. china has a right to do as it wishes it just sucks for people like me with a german shepherd service dog, now i have to either live way outside the city or a small town somewhere if i wanna move back. i can't live without my dog.
Dandare, there is nothing particularly dangerous about these dogs. that is why breed bans literally don't work. any dog can be made aggressive if abused. that's why it's important to educate people on how to raise dogs instead of banning breeds. small dogs are actually a lot more aggressive than large breeds.
well guess moving back to kunming isn't an option then. wow. people should be able to apply for permits to own the banned dogs. german shepherds are some of the most docile, family friendly dogs there are.
does anyone have an update on this? did they actually crack down? i'm considering moving back to kunming and have two dogs, one is a gsd mix. i can't risk him being hurt. i considering moving to the outskirts of the city or something
I just got back from this hospital and I was very pleased. I showed up in the middle of the night throwing up uncontrollably and was helped immediately. They diagnosed me and brought me to a very nice room. Cozy, 120 channels and even a little attached bathroom. The place is super clean and I thought the staff was very helpful, although due to me showing up in the middle of the night there was no translators. I speak decent chinese so between that and the doctors using pleco on their phones we were able to communicate just fine. i was put on an IV. The following morning their translator was there and she was incredibly sweet and helpful as well. I would definitely recommend this place if you have anything you need. Its clean, friendly, modern, and in my opinion for all the crap I ended up deciding to do, very reasonably priced. Only thing is that I wish I couldve used my insurance as I am covered through it internationally, but the process was too complicated and i decided to just go the cash route.
Just got back from this place. We paid for a cab out there because it had such good reviews, and to be honest we were a bit disappointed. We are huge indian food fanatics and have had a huge range of authentic indian, and this stuff seemed more like a chinese attempt at indian and for the price wasnt worth it. The naan was dry and so thin and brittle that it was more like crackers. The main dishes were medium sized, but were extremely watered down. The meat was coarse and tough to chew, and the vegetables were not thoroughly cooked. It also took us almost 50 minutes to get our food. their redeeming factor was their veggie samosas; they were delicious and very flavorful. Crunchy outside, soft inside. The staff was also very friendly. Overall, if I were to recommend an indian restaurant, i would recommend Cacaja on wenlinjie instead. We have been there 6+ times and found the food to always be very high quality, and the prices are exactly the same as Saramati. I suppose theres a chance they were training in all new cooks or something at saramati and thats why the food wasnt that good, who knows. I just know I was disappointed for having gone out there when I couldve gone to Cacaja instead, especially since we paid such high prices for low quality food.
