Forums > Living in Kunming > Renting vs subletting a room

Let me rephrase, and clarify.

The building management is only one of the parties obligated. That is why they should be able to help you, they can't say "it's not my job to know".

One of their responsibilities is to report anyone/tennant who is not (0r activity that is not) fully legal.

But as Geezer said, ultimately the buck stops with you.

@Heniu, it sounds like you are not legally registered.

Forums > Living in Kunming > What are your useful apps.?

I see someone asking about an app on here.
It might be useful to discuss apps that make life in CHN/KMG easier.

What are your favourite apps?
What do they do?
Why do you like them?
Pros/cons?
etc.

As someone who has yet to join the smartphone revolution, it would be useful to know what I am missing.
Other may benefit from learning about an app then have not heard of yet.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Asbestos test

With textured paints, the asbestos would be in the paint and not behind it.

The health hazards from asbestos are from breathing the dust, which usually occurs when working with the stuff. Mostly cutting it, or sanding it.

There is asbestos everywhere in China. Lock it up behind paint is a quick solution to your problem. Don't do anything that might liberate any dust from suspect material.

If you find a body that could test, remember that any negative test reports can be made to 'go away' with the appearance of a red envelope. The building management would be a little poorer and you would be none the wiser. Kunming is the perfect environment for this, well documented.

I can recommend the following local OTC and if the pharmacist does not have it there are several similar substitutes that do the same job. Not all are capsules, some are little black pills. All smell like anis.

Huo Xiang Zheng Qi 藿香正气 Jiao Nang胶囊 (capsules). Main ingredient is Giant Hysop.

Take 4 immediately, then 3 or 4 tabs/caps 3x per day for 3 days. They take effect very quickly, and the taking of them for 3 days is to kill residual bacteria. Best to take them as soon as you think you have a problem.
We also use them as a prophylactic if we think we have consumed bad food.

We always carry these.

The trees are mentioned in this article about the former leader gone to jail. www.gokunming.com/[...]
Those trees should never have been planted, they were water hungry in a city suffering from drought. They tried to same them where I live, but were not 100% successful, and now they are digging out the stumps. Local species that can survive local weather conditions are more sustainable.

Let's hope he can get rid of some of the indolent inertia specialists that seem to be a cause for a chronic lack of progress in Yunnan. Even impoverished Guizhou seems to have outpaced Yunnan's rate of development in recent years.

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.
