Forums > Living in Kunming > Fedex US->China Here is the Kunming address I had the best luck with:
Jiang Dong Si Ji Gong Yu, Apt 1708
Beijing Lu, Panlong District, 650224
Kunming, Yunnan, P.R. China

中国云南省昆明市盘龙区北京路江东四季公寓1708 室
电话：18669888888
Stuff was sent US mail and took about two weeks. The English was to get it going in the right direction. The Chinese address in Hanzi is correct with a phone number. Customs will call if necessary. These days you get a US tracking number but it was useless in China
I gave up on FEDEX as it was left in the university mail room with a few hundred other FEDEX packages in a big pile.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Metro: X-Ray Scanner and Aerosols Really surprised about metro restrictions for carryon stuff. Airport security people are well trained and work in teams but not sure about metro and bus station Nazi wannabes. At least you can turn around and walk away and catch a taxi.
Some flying rules I have run into:
You can carry ONE cigarette lighter on your person. It cannot be in your carryon luggage.
There are restrictions on lithium batteries as well: size, number, and total watt or amp hours. In the US there are regulations but each airline has its own rules. I can, for example, fly with my power chair on Delta but not United.
Multiple spare lithium batteries for cameras and battery banks can be a problem.
Other items prohibited: tent pegs, badminton racquets, fishing rods, and tools.

With the popularity and convenience of using plastic, spending habits are preserved for analysis. POS systems used by retailers and traders provide even more detail.

大哥 can monitor internet activity and can know how money is being spent. Now 大哥 can create a collective picture of emotional responses.

Yunnan raises minimum wage
发布者Stop on red?
Yunnan raises minimum wage
发布者A good move. Now the question is: will the appropriate propaganda departments make sure the word gets out?
China actually have fairly decent labor laws. Unfortunately, they are observed and enforced less than traffic laws.

发布者@Ocean,
Not to worry. Your English is a lot better, and more coherent, than many self professed English teachers posting on this site. At least you spell, punctuate and capitalize normally.
I notice the "So" is becoming an over used sentence opener, both written and spoken. So cuz u dont and tigertiger don't so everything I guess it isn't being taught that so should be used repeatedly. So kinda makes me think of Valley Girl talk which became the in thing in the 1970s. So do you teach using rising inflection to end each sentence? So like second tone. :-)
