She needs to leave on good terms and get a release letter. If she is fired there is the possibility that she can be refused a visa for 3 years. This is a regulation that came in about 4 years ago.
If she says she has a family emergency, or is pregnant, that usually works. Especially if you give the employer time to find a replacement, or you help them find one.
Typical lease is 1 yr. Some will try to push for 2, some can be pushed down. Deposits vary from 1 month to 4, depending on what is in the apartment.
We always negotiate on furniture. Always a NEW western style mattress. Chinese mattresses are hard, very hard. We have also negotiated on new sofas and fridge. These additions are then amortized (added to the rent) over the life of the contract. If the contract is one year make sure you agree up front that the rent comes down in second year. Yes you are buying stuff that you will leave behind, but if you bought it yourself it would be up front cost. Things like fridges, they may just upgrade if they are really crappy. But fridges here are not expensive. Mattresses however are.
The advantages of going to a curtain shop is that they will have a choice of materials, and choice of linings, there are at least 3 grades of blackout.
They will also come and install curtain track and fit the curtains for you.
Cheap blackout is plastic like shower curtain, and rustles, expensive is soft touch and quieter.
Shop around, some places have higher rent and charge 2-3x as much as others.
I would be interested in learning more about these centers of artisan skills around Yunnan. For example Jianshui is a centre for a specific kind of pottery, and Dali is a center for marble work.
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.

发布者Edit - correction.. Whoring can be to act as a whore, or to consort with whores.

发布者I kind of read whoring as the customer having sex with whores, no matter how they are procured. This is a different crime to prostitution.
Soliciting is the prostitute offering sex to a customer, in exchange for money.
