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?

Let us know how you get on. I am looking for good stationary stores as well.

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.
Venerable foreigner health check clinic moves to new location
Posted byI often turn up after 10 and the queues have gone by then. I turned up early a couple of times and have had to fight with large groups of Chinese getting their medical. One time a tourist group, another time I think was a gang of migrant workers.
Law prohibits new shared bike companies from coming to Kunming
Posted byLooking at the link in the last post. Really got me thinking about the carbon footprint of all the share bikes in China. Following on from that the footprint of all of the disposed of share bikes. If we remember these bikes are mostly steel, the production has a considerable environmental effect. These bikes seem to be disposable, which begs a question about the sustainability of the business model as well.
An astronomical monster grows in Guizhou
Posted byAstronomical monsters are often built in the middle of nowhere. Less interference from human activity. Guizhou fitted the bill.
If I was developing super computers, I would expect to do it somewhere where I could work secretly. I would also want physical security for something that will become a vital part of the telecoms/economic infrastructure. Guizhou has a history of building secure facilities inside mountains.
On a slightly different note, Guizhou seems to be developing must faster than Yunnan and may even have overtaken it. Guiyang has transformed itself in the last 15 years, and seems to have already overtaken Kunming. Some people were obviously very hard at work, while others were resting on their laurels.

Inspired relaxation at Yunnan's Fuxian Lake
Posted byAddendum. These peddle boats seat up to 7. The water is very high quality. The sun sets later on the east side. On the west you have the mountains shadow and loose the sun much earlier in the day.
