I would go back to the place of birth. Find out the office where births are registered. Go to that office and start asking there. There will be a proper record of every birth in China, unless the person was born illegally.
Children born outside marriage, or illegal second child, may not have been registered. If the person went to a state school and got a state education, then they were registered.
I would be so bold as to suggest that the major local hospitals would be a better bet, than trying to find an American staffed clinic.
As stated, the major hospitals predominantly dispense western medicines..
Reasons to go to a local hospital include:
Hospital no a clinic.
Chinese doctor knowing more about the drugs market in China, what is available, etc.
Probably cheaper consultation and drugs.
Chinese doctor will have a better idea of chronic conditions, including parasites, that are present in the city.
Chinese doctor having a better idea of the tests available for medical problems, and those tests will be done in a big hospital on the same day.
It might help if you went to the Marriage Office, and ask them. I am sure that they will be very helpful.
There is a circus advertising on Kunming TV Channel 6 (K6) this morning, channel 26 or 46 on the cable boxes, depending on service provider.
There was a circus and waterworld down in Dounan (I think) during the end of last year, I am not sure if it is still there.
I downloaded Google translate from the Apple Store on my iPhone a couple of months ago. It is not blocked, is free, and works fine.
I assume it is the same for Android.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
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.
Up to 1,000 Dali businesses to close in face of new policy
发布者I see on CGTN that the government has just released its 3rd wave of environmental inspectors across the nation, to evaluate local government performance. It looks like they are getting serious this time.
Four years after murder conviction, Yunnan man walks free
发布者Also a good example of why due process, and public defenders are needed. This includes the defense having access to forensic evidence.
This guy was lucky.
Kunming's bike share options: A user guide
发布者@ Peter, people have been jailed for handling stolen rental bikes, there was a news story on local TV a couple of weeks back, and I think people were jailed in 3 separate cases. I think in two cases it was 15 days, I think the cops are targeting this, as the whole bike thing is a government initiative.
There are also grass roots volunteer groups liberating stolen bikes, and reporting stolen bikes. I think people trying would get reported, unusual for china as that is.
These bikes are probably too highly visible and recognizable to just chuck on the back of a sanlun che, and ride them through a scrap metal dealer's gates.
Up to 1,000 Dali businesses to close in face of new policy
发布者I visited Dali, 2-3 years ago, and cycling around the lake I could not believe that they had built hotels/guest houses along the shore side.
One also needs to think about the run off from the construction sites, going into the lake, with local small building firms doing the jobs.
I am glad that they finally jumped on this.
Blackwater founder bringing new security firm to China
发布者A few years ago, someone told me that several thousand Chinese business men, on business trips, just disappear every year. I am sure that shipments of goods disappear at an even more alarming rate. I wonder how many truck drivers are hijacked heading south and west, once they leave China. Probably a very big business opportunity for a logistics security service provider, with experience of this kind of work; which FSG seems to have.
