For air quality go to aqicn.com and type in any city. When you buy fresh vegetables you must them thoroughly before cooking. Eating out is less of an issue than 10 years ago but still far from ideal.

It is easy to say good riddance. Easy to forget that a lot of that 1bn comes out of peoples pension schemes, and a lot of the small investors were not corporate fat cats, and in many cases ordinary people, including Canadians. Not the nouveaux riche with dirty slush money to hide.

The Anbang case is a new variation. It shows how some cities have fallen over backwards for the big corporate investments, and their due diligence has been shown to be inadequate. This is one of the downsides of Canada not having federal systems for this. Many provinces have their own way of doing things, and some think that they have little to learn from other provinces. Hopefully the lessons from this case will be taken on board across Canada.
I would hope that there is a case for compensation if the small investors can start a class action against the city governments concerned.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Teacher living at school

One down side for teachers, even if they live out, is that there are duty teachers who have a room to monitor the students in the evening and enforce lights out; for those students who board. Boarding students are normal in China.
The upside, if they are fresh out of college, is they don't have to rent accommodation outside (although they still pay fees to the school). This last thing is a parallel with Miami's situation. There is also access to breakfast in the school canteen.
I don't know about Chinese schools, but in the universities, staff can often buy the apartments on new campuses at lower than market prices.

As with most big projects, among the biggest challenges will be the politics. This has already been seen in the China-Singapore project.

I used to work on govt projects in the UK and it is always the politics that proves one of the biggest hurdles, mostly before building even starts.

In a country where the government does not have to worry about the political fall out from such projects, it is easier to build what you want, largely where you want. As soon as other stakeholders get involved (especially if they have the power of veto, e.g. other countries, states or provinces) it gets bogged down very quickly.

I love this. The building will be a major traffic generator on one of the biggest pinch points on the inner ring road (Huancheng Nan Lu, Huancheng Xi Lu, meeting Dianchi Lu).
As the building is only a short distance from Er Huan Nan Lu, a lot of the traffic will want to join this second ring road. However, Er Huan Nan Lu is already overcapacity, and is perhaps the most congested section of 2nd ring road already.

There are numerous failed resorts across China. There was a resort built at Anning Hot Springs, complete with mountain walks and cable car. The remnants of the cable car can still be seen.
I find it interesting that the figures for tourism and real estate have been compiled. An increase in the combined figure does not necessarily mean that both are growing.

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.
