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.

Kunming one of best cities to live in China
Posted byCoVid experiences possibly affecting this could could of course come from many perspectives.
For example, those who are or have been in urban lock-down, may appreciate the prospect of going out once it is over - opportunities which are perhaps different in Kunming/Yunnan, than somewhere else.
If the survey took place during or after lock-downs in China, people will acknowledge this and it would show in results more strongly than perhaps otherwise. Appreciating what the city or region can offer beside 12h work days and big bucks.
Kunming one of best cities to live in China
Posted by"Survey of Economic Life in China"
If this "economic" is to be taken as in affordability, then at least for me it is a major point.
If I speculate this from local perspective, last I checked the local average salary was below the monthly automatic 5000 RMB tax deduction, so average Kunming resident gets by without paying any income tax - in many other country I would probably feel satisfied if I see the city and society develop even without having to contribute to it myself by other means than my own consumption.
There isn't that much industry here, but the benefits of developing society keep trickling in anyway, and this curve (or imbalance or whatever you'd call it) will ultimately show in this kind of surveys, positively.
It is perhaps same in some more remote places, where some farmers can make a small fortune with modern technology to help them.
Also curious about when this survey was conducted - would CoVid experiences weigh in it, and how?
New strict dog regulations in 36 Kunming areas

Curious how this regulation deals with people (foreigners or Chinese) who may want to move in Kunming and bring their pet dogs with...?
Announcing the new website Destination Lijiang
Posted byI'm curious whether the separate website for Lijiang means less Lijiang-specific content appearing on GoKunming. For me personally it would be double to effort to navigate two websites, which may be why I will not frequent on the Lijiang site.
So basically will the information on the two sites be mirrored so that those who only read GoKunming, may catch all/most of the content about Lijiang as well?
