I'm very much in favour of reducing the need for car use in my personal life and appreciate meeting people who share similar values but, with small kids to look after, it does mean having to plan things much more carefully, which is why it is GREAT to be able to read your comments. Thanks again.

Does anyone know the name and number of a reliable property agent who deals with Beichen? I've met property agents who have been extremely helpful and quickly work out what you want and show you that but I have also met plenty of agents who seem unable to grasp what you want and really waste your time.

The air is bad in Beijing today. The coal burning really does it!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

My family and I have a great opportunity to move to Kunming or the surrounding area. And we could really do with some of your expert advice.

We've been in Beijing for the last 5 years, cough cough, and really looking forward to moving away. I'm British and work from home but need access to the airport now and then. My wife is Chinese and planning to work if an OK job comes her way. Our bilingual kids need a good local (not international) kindergarten and primary school.

We've identified the area around the Expo Park as a possible area to be based. We've also identified the area by the lake, south west of the city centre, as another possible area.

Do you have any suggestions about these two areas or other areas? Is there anywhere outside Kunming (but close enough to the airport) we ought to perhaps consider too?

Thank you very much in advance for any help you may offer.
