Forums > Living in Kunming > Water Filter Recommendations

When we got our new apartment last year we purchased a Haier 3 stage purification system.

It works great and is about half the price of the Amway system we had previously.

It requires a permanent water connection, electric connection, and for some reason, drain connection.

Cost was about 2,500 RMB.

Because there are only 2 of us the filters are lasting longer than the published "average".

Wow!
OK, I went through that complete deletion and setup of WeChat pay, which I had done as recently as June.

It worked for me and no longer wants "additional information".

I just gave it back the same information it had to begin with!
Thanks to DanTheMan and Bubblyian for their advices.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Apparently I’m not vaccinated anymore?

When I scan in AliPay I get the green health code.

The shield is no longer showing.
However, when I scan in WeChat it specifically says "unvaccinated" because of course WeChat still does not recognize my new passport number.

Some further thoughts.
I've played around with making payments and transfers.

No problem paying a utility from my bank account, but it won't let me pay anything from "balance".
The original post was about the inability to receive a transfer, and those transfers would go to "balance".

It appears that either sending or receiving to/from "balance" is blocked.

I was able to withdraw the full balance into my bank account.
I checked my AliPay account and it does not harass me about paying a vendor from "balance", which is good because that's now I pay for the bus/subway now.

It appears this recent change affects more than just transfers.

I have routinely kept a small balance on WeChat for payment in shops so as to avoid many small transactions through my bank account.
Yesterday I noticed the two transactions I did went instead to my bank account.

When I saw this post today I checked the payment options and saw the notation "You need to further verify your identity to continue paying with Balance", however it does not offer any way in which to verify my identity.

This is confusing!

The hospital is partially open, but they don't have all of the equipment needed for some procedures. My wife had to go downtown because they could not do an angioplasty at this location.

I noticed the link above shows the hospital name as Kunming Ganmei International Medical Center, but that doesn't match what's actually shown on the sign at the top of the building.

If you don't know the location, you can find it right across the road from the North Walmart. There are numerous buses or you can take Metro line 2 to LinYuQiao station (1 north of Beichen) and go to exit B.

Had my first ever visit to Slice of Heaven last night for a group party. Barbara recognized me as a newcomer and immediately came to welcome me and introduce herself.

While speaking with her at the counter, a server walked past with a pizza for one table. The aroma immediately caught my attention. It was awesome.

Our group shared 4 different pizzas. All were amazing. I think the sauce really makes the difference since it was very flavourful. I also put back to cups of cappuccino. I guess they must have fixed problems noted in other reviews because I found it to be quite good.

If I lived closer I would be a regular here.
