Depends, most nicer places want at least 6 months rent in advance, especially if you use a real estate agent. The lease is normally 6 months to 1 year.
With the housing bubble, and high rent there are a lot of greedy landlords out there now... They even have a name for them in Chinese, but I forget what it is now.
Some landlords will let you pay monthly, but most often times this is when you rent directly from the landlord.

This morning my friend said they felt a tremor also while on the phone. I didn't feel it, but I live on the first floor and was in bed at the time.
I like the food at the Wicker Basket in Beichen. I don't know if they have wine or not. There are other foreign restaruants nearby... Sandras, Samoana Cafe are the ones I can think off the top of my head. Just check the listings on gokunming.com
shhhh! It's nearly impossible for me to use the Roswell airport in the US now....
What do you mean by leaving... switching schools? traveling? Just want to wander around Kunming doing nothing?
Of course, please tell us what school you're currently studying at....

Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.
Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.
Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.
The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.
Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
The drought: Good and bad news
发布者If you use more than so much a month they double the rate. I believe the it's 10 "units" where each unit is 10,000 l, but I'm not sure. You can go look at the water bills posted and see that those who use more than 10 units a month are much more than others.
Yunnan spirulina tainted with lead
发布者So why don't they test the products at the source, or at least the lake water? I guess speculating is more fun, not to mention safer for the reporters anyways.
Kunming's reservoirs, rivers drying up
发布者The rainy season usually doesn't start until about July or August.
There were a couple of days we ran out of water in the afternoon/evening this month, but it hasn't happened since. I live near Yunnan Yingxia on Chuanjin Lu.
The management said Kunming only has about 50% of the water it needs. I've heard as low as 30%.
Kunming launches forum site for foreigners
发布者The forum looks nice, but the topics aren't well organised...
Guess I could use an editor too :P
Kunming launches forum site for foreigners
发布者The forum looks nice, but could the topics aren't well organised. The main site definitely needs a more organised layout.
Overall the English isn't too bad, but there are some articles that could use an editor. Any reason why you just don't hire an editor?
