Forums > Living in Kunming > Catholic Church in KunMing? The differences are theological (belief) and legal (church law).The biggest difference for practising Christians relates to Mass. You should only partake in the Catholic Mass if you are a confirmed in the Catholic Church. Additionally, there are theological reasons why some non-Catholics will not partake in the Catholic Mass, but can take part in the Sacrament (takin of bread and wine/body and blood of Christ) in non-Catholic churches; and visa versa.
If you don't know what that means, you will need to look it up, as it is too complex and time consuming to explain on here.
Forums > Study > Cheap Private Schools For a visa, full time study. This is usually 20 class hours per week. You really need to attend all classes. We had one classmate went for a long weekend travel with girlfriend, missed two days class and had his next visa application refused.
Unless you are at a university the school will have to help find you somewhere to live. If you are not white, or of sino-asian appearance, you may find this difficult. Some of our classmates from the Indian subcontinent could not find accommodation, as landlords thought they might be terrorists. Seriously, this happened.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Garden in Kunming We have eaten a lot of the daisy leaves. They are very edible indeed.
Some of our neighbours are growing oranges and other citrus fruits. They survived the recent hard frosts, and they also look splendid; even when the plants are small.
I think I will try to grow some lemons for G&Ts.

Celebrating Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
发布者From the article "...In Kunming, Dragon Boat Races used to be held during the holiday at the Yunnan Nationalities Village. " This seems unambiguous, but I think erroneous.
Celebrating Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
发布者I am not sure that dragon boat events were ever held in the Minorities Village. This could be a hang over from erroneous remark in an article on dragon boat festivals a year or two ago.
The only dragon boat events I know of, in the last 10 years, were held on the northern half of Haigeng Dam (Daba). These now fall on the calendar of the international dragon boat racing events.
A friendly reminder from the Kunming Public Security Bureau
发布者I guess Hainan might be a pilot scheme for licencing and taxing gambling and prostitution (speculation). If things are legalized, it can take them out of the hands of criminal enterprises.
