Carrying mooncakes and exceeding the baggage limit spring to mind ;-)
Regarding dried fruits, dates are not from Yunnan. I am not sure if there are any restrictions for importing dried fruit in some countries.
Regarding ethnic clothing, a lot of the stuff sold in tourist areas is not genuine, and is churned out of factories; you can buy some of it almost anywhere/everywhere in China. That may or may not bother you.
Part of the confusion, even for teachers, is the liberal use of fluid definitions by local business owners; who only add to the fluidity of the terms. For some business owners, having a foreign teacher is enough to put the word international in the marketing blurb and on the building's wall.
It might also be worth posting the question about experience with preschool on expat websites for Shanghai, Beijing, etc. as there are a lot more expats there.
I very much doubt it. Some parents I know have put pre-school kids into Chinese pre-schools ($), and the children are able to adapt and pick up the language.
However, if the job posting is going to be more than a year, then the options for school will take a little more thought. Boarding in a Kunming school would be one option, home schooling another.
Off topic, but related to theme songs. When we watched terrestrial TV we listened to the whole theme, even if only in the background while we quickly made a cup of tea or finished off some other chore. With streaming, or watching box sets, we quickly FF over the theme song and titles. We are missing a lot of great music.
Everything else said by the last two posters can be captured within the idea that we no longer live in a society, we live in a market.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
