Both the card and the dongle contain a little RFID chip with an access code in it. Technically the data can be read and written to any other RFID chip using a reader/writer. So if everyone else has a blue dongle, just walk to the management office and see if they have any dongles with the same code, or go to a place that writes RFID data.
You could even write it to the RFID chip in your phone and open the door with your phone. In theory at least.
I've noticed many routers are similar in quality. I've owned several D-Link routers, Belkins, TP-Links and even the much hyped open source router. Many of these have broken down after one to two years. It's astonishing how sad the quality on these machines is. TP-Links are in no way worse than the others.
If it suddenly stops working, don't eliminate the possibility that your router is simply broken.
Questions:
A. Can you connect if you are physically connected to the router (with LAN cable)?
B. Can other devices connect to the router?
Otherwise, do the following through the router page:
1 are any MAC or IP addresses banned from accessing the internet (on TP-Link firmware this is very difficult to find with a lot of double negatives so I sometimes don't get it either)
2 change the Wireless signal channel, there may be too many interfering ones around, it's kind of unlikely but I've had one case where this worked
Or try this:
1 Delete the network on your Mac (make it forget the wireless network) and set it up again. It has happened to me that this worked on a Mac.
By the way you will have access with .50, because DHCP will only automatically assign from .110 doesn't mean you can't set a static IP and connect.
There are several options. You can enlist on chinesetest.cn and choose your preferred institution. I did mine last June at 财经大学 but YunDa, Ligong and Shifan all organise theirs.
I'm impressed that over 10,000 USD have already been collected in such a short while. I'm also happily surprised at GoKunming's continued efforts to support this cause. Now those last 14,000 can't be such a problem, can they?
What's wrong with the spitting? People running in the West spit all the time while they do so. I know plenty people that spit on a regular basis and they're not all Chinese. The only thing that's different is that the Chinese like to lead in with a long loud snort.
Having monsters like the Chengguan enforce civil behaviour is a joke by itself. Last time I saw them in action, two of them picked up an old street vendor by his arms and legs, tossed him into the air and let him land hard on his back. 文明？我的屁股。
Well, nothing in Kunming is anything like Shanghai or Beijing. Don't expect it to be anywhere near as good.
I know of only one convenient yet extensive light rail system so far, and that's Berlin's. Almost all of the time your connection arrives at other side of the platform you arrived at, only in some cases do you have to take a flight of stairs and almost never do you have to walk over 2 min.
First and last experience. Absolutely horrible. I came in late with a big flesh wound. The doctor sewed it up and told me to come back in the morning "perhaps to redo it, and to change the bandage". When I did come back the next morning, they just changed the bandage and sent me off.
When I peeked at my own wound, I noticed it was horribly done. "Like a vet did the stitches," as someone commented. I then had to stay a night in a different hospital in order to do it right, with a 40% chance of getting infections. This cost me a lot more, thanks to Richland fucking up in the beginning.
Whatever X-rays were taken were not printed out and given to me so I couldn't go to another hospital for a second opinion or treatment.
The nurses didn't seem to know where half the things were and the doctors had to repeat orders to get basic things like scissors.
In the next hospital, it was noticed that I had fractured my jaw in two places. On the five X-Rays taken at Richland, they did not notice the fractures.
Pretty sure these people are not actual doctors and are therefore criminal.
Four people signed up for the highest-level class and got a teacher who does all the talking, refers to herself as 老师 and makes classes absolutely uninteresting. As of this moment, only 1 person is still going on a regular basis.
While staff is friendly, they are absolutely incapable to help out with visa matters in an adequate way. Lack of information beforehand, lack of support and lack of information during the visa process meant that I am waiting forever for my residence permit to be processed, without any information about why it's taking so long, why they can't get started ... I'd say this school is a good option if all you wanted is a visa, but they can't even handle this properly.
Anyone giving this school a 5-star rating hasn't been to any decently-run schools in Kunming, such as Keats'. The only redeeming quality is facilities and space, those are indeed excellent.
Have been studying at Keats for almost four semesters now and I'm very enthusiastic about the quality of the teachers and the commitment of the school's staff.
One point of criticism is that I think they could put in some effort to group people of the same level together, rather than base it on who was together in last semester's class.
I stayed here in the early days of March 2013. Dave and his wife are swell owners, the staff attentive, the food good, rooms in perfect order, WiFi fast enough... Much like the old hump, the entire place is an excellent place to relax and make friends. And that is what you come to do in Dali, after all. The location is a bit isolated from the old town, but nothing is really far away in Dali. Besides, it makes for a better starting point to walk up Cangshan.

Kunming to become more civilized

Kunming approves eight new subway lines

I don't expect that to happen here though.

发布者Trekking is just a another word invented by Lonely Planet to make the sorry excuses for travelling they promote sound cool.
As in "I just did this totally awesome jungle trek with these crazy locals. It was so humid man, my iPad like hardly survived it."
