Forums > Living in Kunming > 10 year visa updates? Anyone with a 10 yr visa should know that they must exit the country very 60-90-180 days. Few are so lucky as to get 180 days. So be prepared to go to Laos, Vietnam, and Hong Kong again and again. Only time will tell which is more time consuming and which is more expensive.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Torrent sires What really surprises me about this ignorant statement is that Geezer has a son who is in the Marine Corps. Is your son not entitled to reveiving a pension if he chooses or is able to complete 20 years of service? Is he taking something that is not rightfully his if he chooses to stay in and retire after 20 years?
Are all workers who work for 20-30 years not entitled to receive a pension or social security at a certain age. So factory workers, railroad workers, firemen, policemen, govt employees, company employees and all the other millions of people of who work their entire lives for a pension are all TAKING money from the USA.
I will not even bother to reply to the other ignorant comment.
As always, the same people who love to hijack threads - the topic is torrents.
Hong Kong has a very strong movie industry as does Bollywood in India, yet they are not crusading to seize and imprison those who offer free movies to others. They are not out to save the world or protect their rich friends from some poor slob cheating them of some royalties.
How does the film industry make money - by ticket sales. But since the country is bankrupt and people can not afford to go to a movie any more they must resort to watching movies online since they are living in poverty or below the poverty line.
Or they are so poor and can not find a job so they must move their entire family to China because they can not make it in the good old USA.

Forums > Living in Kunming > 10 year visa updates? Most people are creatures of habit which limits their growth severely. Every time I go to HK I make it a point to use a different entry/exit point so I can know all the surrounding area and where each exit will bring me.
If you are short on cash, HK is not the place to go. Trains charge by distance, so the further you go the more you pay. Keep a lot of loose change in hand. First time I visited I was amazed at how the taxi meter moved and the fares kept rising right in front of my eyes.
Good side is there of plenty to eat anywhere and everywhere but prices are much higher than good old Kunming.
Expect to go into many (mansions) hotels to ask for rates and then walk out to look for another.

Yunnan's "largest illegal animal smuggling ring" broken up
Posted bySupply and demand. Go to every TCM office and confiscate all endangered species products they have in stock. Do this throughout the entire nation. Photograph and record the owner and store and let them know if they have any of these products ever again they will go to jail or get the death penalty. Problem solved. Same for ivory and other items.
