Forums > Living in Kunming > what about mini golf with barbeque?

Are you talking about the Haigen minigolf ? I went there 2 weeks ago with some colleagues. They didn't maintain the place and it's totally run-down. Could not find a chair which was not broken, no lights and running water in the toilets, the wooden terrace floor is full with holes, you break a leg if you are not careful. They only sale water so you have to bring your own drinks. Pity, because it was quite a nice place before but now I would't recommend anyone to go there.

Laotou, yes I have a work visa here in Kunming. I have asked the Dutch embassy to look into this and they say Kunming is following the regulations as given by Beijing.

Greg, about that multiple entry visa you got for your daughter, is there no limit on the amount of days she is allowed to stay in China for each entry ?

We had a baby in Kunming 1,5 year ago and chose for the foreign nationality to avoid all paperwork you are describing and because we are thinking about leaving China before she has the age to go to school anyway.

The Chinese government however still considers her as Chinese because she is born in China out of a Chinese woman. Because of this they won't give her a residence permit in her foreign passport, every time we leave the country we have to get an exit permit which thanks god is quite easy to get (small book which looks like a passport), and come back into China with a tourist visa in her foreign passport.

Kunming seems to be one of the worst places on this matter, in many other places they issue the residence permit, or at least give a exit/entry permit so you don't need to go to the Chinese embassy to arrange a tourist visa every time you want to get back in China.

They also won't give her a Chinese passport before we renounce her foreign nationality and renouncing the Chinese nationality seems to be a very long proces.....
