Forums > Living in Kunming > 101 Good Reasons to live in China

We all get frustrated and we all need a good old fashioned bitching session occasionally, just to let off steam. The internet has provided some convenient outlets for this, they go by the name of blogs and forums.

It is probably healthy to let off steam, but definitely not healthy to read other peoples, much needed, venting and take it on board. We all suffer from BCD, even my Chinese wife.

P.S.
If you have to list your stuff as stock/merchandise/samples anything like that, you may have to pay export duty.

Also, see if you can find a shipping agent. They may be able to do it more easily than you can.

Yes the figures make sense.
Unis expect more towards 6000 + flights + accom.

High schools - the figures look about right. Expect accommodation or accom allowance.

NB Subject teachers, esp Maths/Science can earn much more than English Teachers in high schools.

The woman in the office is probably unwilling to help you. If the word 'difficult' is used, it usually means that it cannot be done.

I would get someone to ship it on your behalf.
Remember you may also have to pay Australian customs duty on personal effects. Add this to the cost, and see if it is really worth sending.

If you are shipping business things, can you use the business licence of the company that you worked with? I assume you were working with another company.

Off topic, but related to theme songs. When we watched terrestrial TV we listened to the whole theme, even if only in the background while we quickly made a cup of tea or finished off some other chore. With streaming, or watching box sets, we quickly FF over the theme song and titles. We are missing a lot of great music.
Everything else said by the last two posters can be captured within the idea that we no longer live in a society, we live in a market.

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.
