Thinking about the business case.

Your audience - How many expats are there in Kunming, and what percentage would be regular listeners? You might be able to find out how many expats their are in Kunming from official figures. You could also guesstimate the percentage who would listen by posting a poll on here to count how many people would be interested in such a service (divide positive responses by 3), then finding out how many registered users on Gokunming and work out your percentage. This final number would be a guesstimate of your total audience (some regular, some less so).
Your revenue streams - somewhat dependent on your audience size.
Your outgoings - how much time, money are other resources can you commit.
Cost-benefit analysis - net positive or net negative.

If you are not thinking about making any money out of this, and it is just a pet project, then you need to minimize your investment (time, energy, money). Consider podcasts or blogs (going out of fashion) or vlogs (which you don't want to do).

Forums > Study > How to get a student visa

For student visa age limit issues, I would contact a university. I would aim for one of the big Chinese learning programmes in Shanghai or Beijing, as by sheer weight of student numbers they will have come across this before. Someone who does not know will just fob you off and waste your time and this needs to be avoided. Pitch your inquiry as someone who wants to study there.

Exceptions. If you are already here on a work visa or family visa (with residence permit) you can study here without a student visa.

China is getting better, but still considering EU or US standards it is pretty poor. If kids are asthmatic, then anywhere in China is not good. If you are already in, and committed to China then Kunming is comparatively not so bad. If you are only going to stay for a year or so the long term damage will be limited. If you are serious about health then you need to consider any long term effects of pollution PLUS altitude.

We were told that the best dental department is in Kunhua (I think that is Yunnan People's No1 Hospital) It is the one next to Jinbi Square, on Jinbi Lu. If memory serves it is on the ground floor of the first building behind the gate, at the very back of the building behind the lobby area.

The cheaper back street dentists may not. The larger hospitals will all use anesthetic if you ask them to. I was told that many Chinese people don't like the idea of anesthetic drugs.
Dental departments in Chinese hospitals have a lot of experience, mostly with major repair. Your case should pose no problems.

My advice would be to pay the extra for the VIP registration, and you will be seen by one of the consultant dentists. It is not expensive.
The issue for you will be language, but if you have a bilingual friend who can go with you it is easy.

You probably couldn't get a mandate to redevelop an area and build an underground shopping mall. Especially if it causes major disruption.

There is an existing mandate to build bomb shelters, and there are added benefits to both the infrastructure and opportunities for business that can be captured too :-)

My university and tertiary students only had lectures between 8am and noon, Many didn't even turn up for lectures, but would turn up for exams. There is an old joke in China, that university is hard to get in (Gaokao), but easy to get out (very hard to fail). I was told by my Dean, in one provincial level uni., that if SS failed and exam they would resit up to twice and would be given an automatic pass after the second resit.

At a tertiary college in Kunming, I had about 30 regular SS out of 60 on the register, but 110 turned in exam papers. Half of them scored less than 30% (and I had pretty much told them the answers and where to find them (in the PPTs I gave them). Lo and behold, I was told by management that the SS all had to pass, including the guy who got 9%.

The problems of students staying in the dormitories, not working and playing computer games has been in the Chinese news several times in recent years. Unless the authorities have got a grip of this recently, I doubt it will have changed.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

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.
