Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Add to that, after this brief info on the phone, the line apparently went silent. Didn't disconnect, but couldn't hear anything. Could have been some technical issue that my other half couldn't handle.
So today we went to Calmette in person to assert that my shot would not fall short on missing appointment.
The person at service desk reminded again about visa/RP expiration, and after that was cleared, wrote my info on a sheet on which a few other names had already been written, along with date on which I could come get it.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Another possible hurdle - when my wife called, she was told that if the foreigners visa/RP will expire before the second shot is due, they won't give the first one either.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners I think they are uncertain of how many foreigners will be needing/qualified/choosing to take the shots, and as long as they are within allocated stock they'd say that.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Does anyone know if the Chinese vaccine has something different between the first/second doses?
Because my understanding has been that at least with the foreign vaccines they are physically the same without any distinction other than availability.
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners Our block had notifications posted in elevators etc, reminding that those needing the second dose should get it before June 30 and those needing the first dose should get it after July 1.
Letter from the editor: Kunming community spirit in times of Corona
Posted by"support the website by making an account, asking questions in the forum, leaving reviews and using the classifieds section to find a job, sell your stuff or rent an apartment."
This (or rather what is not included in that list of to-dos) sums the criticism that I personally have toward the whole ordeal, and how GoKunming (out of no choice I understand) had to respond to it with rest of the nation.

Ask questions and increase revenue, but feel free to avoid discussing and, heaven forbid, debating anything.
Editorial: Kunming 2020 biological diversity conference should be based on Paris Agreement
Posted byWouldn't you say a new kind of virus adds to biodiversity though? Also in relation to biodiversity, I suppose there is some poetic justice in the virus killing humans.

Posted byI'm not a big fan of croissants anyway, and donuts I have not found in either of the establishments you mentioned.
@Dolphin: "savouring the croissant helps to cultivate appreciation. ie appreciating simple things rather than always feeling discontent that you don't have enough"
Perhaps, but it equally helps to cultivate ignorance of all the labor that has been put into creating that experience for you. At least I would allow you to feel discontent on behalf all the people who don't have enough, whether they had part in creating the croissant or not.
I't shouldn't anymore be about what you have or don't have, but what the other 7.7 billion (minus 1) people have or don't have. That's where the musings of Buddha (as quoted above) go wrong in this day and age.

Posted byThere perhaps was a time, when embracing reality same way you would savour the croissant, could have been beneficial to achieving an enlightened state of mind.
But today, many would call such view on life quite the opposite of enlightened - it could be called ignorance or covering your eyes from all that is wrong. Perhaps that's suitable in Chinese context.
There, I connected the croissant to politics.
