Forums > Living in Kunming > Passport Visa Pages: How Many? It is not about how many pages you have left in your passport it is about the the expiration date of your passport. You need at least 6 months left on your passport. So if you want a 1 year working visa you need the passport to be valid for 1.5 years.

This is the signature stamp of the artist who made the picture. It is in traditional Chinese. Poor quality so can only see one character of his name.

Who would be stupid enough to pay 4200 per month for an apartment. Some people just don't know what to do with their money.
My goodness - here is another one.

发布者What a waste.
New high-speed rail line to link Kunming with Dali
发布者Life in Yunnan just keeps getting better. A 2 hour train ride to Dali is a lot better then taking the 4-5 hour bus ride. Not to mention the delays when there is a traffic accident.
Earth's budget deficit at 160%, hope stems from trees
发布者Everyone needs to contribute - Now it begins - Yes, we must contribute but when the population does not make their deadline (Dec 31), we must pay - another tax coming just around the corner.
Just like life insurance in the good old USA, you will pay for it whether you want it or not. If you don't pay, they just steal it out of your bank account.
Agenda 21 - controlled by the UN (1 World Govt) will be in charge.
The Global Warming Lie has now conveniently morphed into Climate Change since the weather did not cooperate with the CO2 lies.
Funny how there is no mention of the real problems in the world. The EPA raises the safety limits on poisons every year so that the multinational companies can continue to pollute and make a profit. In the meantime, we get to eat, drink and breathe more pollutants.
Snapshot: Dali and Weishan
发布者There are several noodle shops that are still run by very old people. I saw a beautiful OLD noodle machine (at least 50-70 years old) in one shop and I would love to buy it (Keep an eye on the obituaries). It just needs to be cleaned up because it has decades of flour stuck on it and it will make a wonderful addition to a home museum.
Weishan has not been commercialized yet. Any smart foreigner with some business savy can buy up a lot of antiques very cheaply and make a great cafe/museum/information center/guesthouse like the one in Xishuangbanna; he has his fingers in every pot.
Lots to see in the surrounding area - great place to retire, still make an income, and be the #1 laowai of the town.
Heijing offers the same.
