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.
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?

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.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
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.
Earth's budget deficit at 160%, hope stems from trees
Posted byAs the late Prof. John Maher (economist) told me, globalization is not sustainable. In the 1980s 20% of the world's population used 80% of the world's resources. What happens when another 20% (China) wants to use resources at the same rate?

Yuxi begins experiment as one of China's 'Sponge Cities'
Posted byIt will also play a major part in flood prevention further downstream. I lived just outside Gloucester, England in the late 1990s. We had floods year after year caused by the large paved areas of the cities in the Midlands, up to 100 km away.
With large paved areas the water cannot soak into the ground and slowly dissipate into the ground water system. Instead the water runs straight into drains and then is piped directly into water courses. This then over flows into rivers.
In the case of Gloucestershire, to protect the large towns downstream of the cities, they basically opened the floodgates knowingly sacrificing the smaller rural towns and villages further downstream.
The idea of a sponge city is beneficial to the city, if water can be saved for later use, prevention of flash flooding in the city itself during heave downpours, and for the areas downstream that get flooded as a result of run-off from paved areas.
This is a phenomenon that has been known for many years, but as cities (especially in China) are getting larger and larger, so are the problems that they cause.

Report: Yunnan to have universal preschool education by 2020
Posted byLet us hope that pre-school curriculum is not just a preparation program for the mainstream curriculum. There would be so much scope to develop children's other intelligences, leading to more rounded individuals, who can better cope with the things life will throw at them. Just having more of the same, starting earlier, will only give you what you already have; which everyone admits needs improving.
