You must be mistaken. In this harmonious land of 5,000 years of civilization there cannot be violence!
Surely those guys were Thais or Koreans or from Xinjiang, if they had knives, other wise I'd say you had too much fine wine to drink. laotou is right, Kundu is not a nice place even for one with three black belts in different martial arts.
Did you ride your scooter there? Which girl did you bring, the laowai or the Chinese?
The second link above has a tax table with the basis in square meters.
Here is some year old info but for Shanghai:
Try this source. I could not find a property transfer or sales tax indicated. One of the difficulties is China's propensity to use fiscal means, taxes, to manage the economy.I don't try to stay current any more so I am not sure if the memory I have of the sort of tax you are looking for is real. They could have done this kind of tax to 'cool' housing speculation.
Working on student visa is NOT a good idea. It is illegal and, if caught, would probably insure your newly learned Chinese skills could only be used outside of China.
BTW, you wrote a blabla, nearly 800 word posting to tell the world you plan on engaging in an illegal activity. Can you give us your passport number, country, perhaps a photo? duh...
No results found.
Good for quality, but pricey, hand tools.
Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.
I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.
The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题！I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.
Last week had an 8:45am flight.
Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.
Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.
Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.
Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.
World Class Airport, NOT!
Tonight "Peacock", a performance by Yang Liping (杨丽萍), to begin her world tour, 8pm, 100-1680 yuan at Yunna Haigeng Auditorium.
Saw this lady perform at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, in California, in 1995. Quite a good and interesting show.
I'm going to try to make it.
Not so good. Kimchi had a very sour taste. Other food was nothing to brag about. I don't think I would go back.
This bus station is not located as indicated. It is further North!

发布者Mei Mei Cafe is great!
Orchid, and her sister, run a great place. Good food, lots of free advice on where to go and how to get there. Want a tour, need a car, a ticket? See Orchid, she's the tall beautiful lady.
Every winter since 2004 I've headed south to Banna. First stop is Mei Mei's. Just tell the taxi driver "Mei Mei Cafe" and in about 10 minutes you are there.
Now, if they just had T-Shirts
