Forums > Travel Yunnan > Thai visa for foreigners in Kunming

It was a few years ago, but the Thai consulate in Kunming would not issue visas except to Chinese passport holders. They also gave me some BS that i could get a two month visa at the airport in BK, apparently there is such a thing but nobody could issue me with one.

The upshot was that before 30 days I had to do a border run to get my visa renewed. This seemed to be the norm at the time. Even teachers who worked there had to do the border run every 30 days. On the plus side, there were lots of bus companies that did regular border runs. It can take a day out of your schedule, but you get to see more of the countryside. Alternatively, plan you itinerary so that you are near the border on day 29-30.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Rolling tobacco and filters

I have only seen cigarette papers and filters on Taobao, but not imported hand rolling tobacco. The tobacco in the markets is probably local pipe tobacco which is a raw tobacco that smells like cigars, which may or may not appeal to you.
With cigarettes starting at about 5rmb per pack there is not much of market for Golden Virginia etc. although you could crack open the cheap cigarettes.
You could try the stores that sell the vaping kits to see if they stock paper and filters.

Update in the news today. Two related stories.
First, a group of young volunteers are combing the streets, looking for stolen bikes, and then returning them. Some are even locked with cable locks and chains, but the volunteers carry large bold croppers to cut the chains.
Second, police have apparently jailed 3 people for stealing these bikes. I think one person got 11 days and the other person 5 days.

Yes, but it also depends on suitable systems and policies, at both the national, local and school levels. At school level it also applies to the policies within both public and private sector schools, and is also true for special programs.

I currently work in a program, where for the first 2/3 of Gao Yi, we spend 80% of our time managing 10% of the students, most of whom are not usually there in Gao Er; and these kids are not disadvantaged, they are just dis[insert adjective here].

Of course its not a flat table. Stop being so bloody PC. Social mobility is a relevant social goal.

No child left behind is not about the competitive society. Many of the 20% of under achievers are not disadvantaged by social background, many have lower intelligence, or really don't care.
The 20% who could achieve a lot more includes many of the smart kids who are socially disadvantaged, but the crap schools in the poor neighborhoods lack the resources for them to excel. When they do get more money, they have to spend it on under achievers. Helping students who would otherwise get an E, to get a D is not going to change their life prospects. Helping the smart kids from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their full potential is going to change lives.

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.
