Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunming: Where to buy hanging files?

In the UK I did the same thing. I switched to concertina files (similar to the blue ones but bigger. BTW N/A in China) and then put these files in the filing cabinet.

By using the blue file boxes, with multiple dividers in them, you can probably increase the amount of documents you can store in a filing cabinet threefold.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Camera charger

Hi Dude

When I wanted a charger for my laptop I could not get one. But after chasing my techie buddies the advised me as follows, and the same advice can be applied to the camera.

Most chargers are generic. As long as you get the right voltage and the Amp rating of the charger is greater than or equal to the original.

The only exception I can think of is if the battery is LiPo. Then you need a LiPo Charger.

BTW have you tried Baidu?

is another one

I would be cautious of headhunters. Anybody can set themselves up as a headhunter in China, and many, many unqualified people do. They will even put forward unsuitable candidates, which is a waste of everyone's time.

If you want to find out more about recruitment in Kunming, you need to find someone who can help you search in Chinese.

Have you tried searching using Baidu.com search engine?
You may be able to search in English and get back lots of search results in Chinese characters. If you use GoogleChrome as the browser, you can set it to translate for you. Just an afterthought.

Sounds like a great trip, and some very sound advice. For anyone who has not climbed or hiked at altitude before, you need to be fit to cope with heights over 4500m, and the air seems to thin exponentially above that.

Scientists probably have different ideas about how the virus may have been transmitted and transferred between species. Some may be fairly certain., but the cannot say with absolute certainty, and so they say that they do not know.

Why do they say this? Because even if they are '99 percent certain'some idiots will shout "FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS'.

I live near Haigeng Park. I love the way that there is a new section of Hubin Lu that is not safe for pedestrians, and another part that is not safe for cyclists. They have now banned cycles from a section of, what was, cycle path along the side of DianChi lake.
Another example of lack of continuity. There is a huge spend to upgrade Cuihu (Green Lake) area. It would be nice if they finish the long overdue subway first. Hopefull Cuihu will be finished before we have another change of Mayor, who will focus on HIS projects as the priority.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
