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.
American conservative group makes inroads into China's classrooms
发布者I don't think high schools and universities are going to have a week long session of role-playing. It will be just another pamphlet given to students along with the current material, and then likely never be discussed in class beyond a few minutes.
Besides that, discussing family values in high school and college is a wee bit late. Heck, in my rural conservative hometown we started studying sex education in 4th grade.
Another point is that the English should probably be "addicted to" and not "mentally dependent on"
Welcome to the new GoKunming.com!
发布者The layout seems a little unbalanced, but not bad. I think it's because some text that doesn't have it's own boxed in background seems lost, like it's just floating around. Forums need to be updated to have threaded posts.. a rating system would be great. Even if it would something as simple as marking posts as "troll/flame" or "off topic".
Yunnan news roundup
发布者I think the shortage of water is of usable water. I've heard that Dianchi lake is so bad that they can't even use the water for industrial usage. So I'm guessing, or at least hoping the water they use is ok for grass, but not for drinking... probably sewage water.

Kunming News Roundup
发布者haha... the schools "quarantine" is useless. Students regularly leave the school. There's even a path between the bushes where they leave.
Many students have already gone home. Supposedly they're all supposed to come back now and sit around to do nothing.
Plus they let everyone and anyone talk at the main gate.
