what in the world happened to this thread? I was reading it eagerly until the last 3 or so posts when it changed topic completely.

Anyway, if Frankn did ever get some help with a RE agent who could help I'd really like to know that also. I'm a foreigner who succeeded in buying an apartment several years ago and now i want to sell in the next year. My original helpful agent has left Kunming and I have lots of questions regarding the 5 year hold and the types of taxes I'd have to pay on sale.

Help?

Hi all, I'll have to ditto nnoble's post. I, also, was on the verge of cutting and pasting this useful info. But I'm allergic to all this Christian missionary stuff in Kunming. It just makes me sad to see this going on. I won't be needing this type of hospital either...as in, Count me out!

And it's not like I'd be hurting myself by ignoring this resource on ethical grounds. I already jumped to the reasonable conclusion that the medical care would likely be substandard based on who the practitioners are.

Thanks Pengo,

I'll give that a try. The smell is easy to recognize so if they have them I'll know.

I was just thinking the same thing. This is a a lifesaver for foreigners living here, like me.

I was actually wondering what I can do to support the effort...a way to contribute?? let me know. I'm all for doing what's useful to keep you "on air".

OK, I know this is a long shot but I'm wondering if anyone has found a place to buy clove cigarettes (Indonesian usually) in Kunming? I don't smoke except on rare occasions and then only cloves so I'd love to find some here but I have no idea if any are available here.

I live on north side but of course any store in Kunming would be great to know.
