Follow aqicn.com daily and find out. There was another thread on here, that I can't find right now, but last year it regularly got over 150, occasionally over 200, and one day over 400.
It makes sense that air is cleaner during rainy season, as the air gets washed every day.
AQI not so good today. Chenggong over 130, Xishan Forest park almost 140. Across the center of Kunming from east to west was over 150. Surprisingly the best air quality was in the north of the city, only in the 90s.
This is probably the start of the poor air quality season. Asthmatics may benefit from keeping an eye on aqicn.org.
The issue for business would really be for those that need VPNs to operate secure networks for data transfer.
These are the companies that run their own VPNs, for example the banks. This is totally different to how you would use the shopping basket.
Buying online across borders already has barriers. There are some companies in Hong Kong that I cannot their websites from within Mainland China, although I can access them from EU. I can only assume that they don't want the China business. There are also Chinese websites that I cannot buy from if I use a server outside of the Chinese mainland. There are companies outside China that don't want to deal with or ship to China, this may or may not be due to regulatory barriers.
I would think that it would be a problem if it has expired. I would go back to the PSB and ask for a new one, explaining that you need it to travel with.
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 is the more bold face of gentrification. Looking at the pattern in other cities, the next step, in a year or so, will be to close the wet market as well. A sad but inevitable part of progress.
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.
