As far as visas are considered, the point of having them there is to provide information about such policies for Chinese nationals wanting to go to UK.

I don't understand how British, or any foreign consulate, could help you in obtaining extension or any information about Chinese visa. That is Chinese jurisdiction.
I think the Darwin award should be split between all the individuals who willingly inhale toxic chemicals, whether shared or not, and whether there was a current public health concern or not.
Bars or other entities making profit on that deserve some other award in my opinion.
We are looking to rent a bigger and cheaper (yes both at same time) apartment. Because my wife works in the area, we are looking at Junfa City development up north near Sijiaying subway stop.
We will scout around a bit this month, but the location is quite decided anyway.
Does anyone have info about shopping/dining/family entertainment venues close by? Google Map shows some kind of restaurant compex on Longbo Road for example. There's supposed to be a family park under construction somewhere as well.
A bit off-topic, but our soon-3-year old boy is easily entertained now with his mother starting to work, and the father (that being me) cutting back on work and giving him more opportunities to play with other children in the neighbourhood.
For some reason my wife has been reluctant to put herself in position where she would have to risk confrontations with the kid (come end of playtime), or the kid with his peers (over toys for example). So he hasn't spent much time with children other than those of few close friends of his mother.
I don't have as many such constrains. We just pack a couple of toys in a bag and go find some company - which is abundant now with older kids not attending kindergartens.
Trading toys with other children is great fun for him, as long as I keep eye on taking our own toys back.
Today we finally discovered that a nearby park with slides and other free plays is actually open - just the gate closest to us has remained locked, and we've been checking on it in vain for a couple of weeks already.
No results found.
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.
