Depends, most nicer places want at least 6 months rent in advance, especially if you use a real estate agent. The lease is normally 6 months to 1 year.
With the housing bubble, and high rent there are a lot of greedy landlords out there now... They even have a name for them in Chinese, but I forget what it is now.
Some landlords will let you pay monthly, but most often times this is when you rent directly from the landlord.

This morning my friend said they felt a tremor also while on the phone. I didn't feel it, but I live on the first floor and was in bed at the time.
I like the food at the Wicker Basket in Beichen. I don't know if they have wine or not. There are other foreign restaruants nearby... Sandras, Samoana Cafe are the ones I can think off the top of my head. Just check the listings on gokunming.com
shhhh! It's nearly impossible for me to use the Roswell airport in the US now....
What do you mean by leaving... switching schools? traveling? Just want to wander around Kunming doing nothing?
Of course, please tell us what school you're currently studying at....

Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.
Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.
Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.
The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.
Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
Kunming neighborhoods face water rationing
Posted byYeah, the water used for plants and streets is supposed to be the grey water from sewage.
Also in your neighborhood they are only supposed to use grey water or sewage for watering. That's why it always smells so bad.
Laos extradites drug suspects to Yunnan
Posted byErr.. feel much more calm if they never smoked. Smoking provides a calm feeling, but it's probably the reason they feel so anxious in the first place.
Laos extradites drug suspects to Yunnan
Posted byI'll admit, I skipped most of the posting... But I thought smoking provided a "false" calming effect. In that the person feels much more anxious because they are addicted to nicotine. They would feel much less calm if they had never started smoking in the first place.
Kunming launches first sightseeing bus
Posted byI guess you'll get a nice view of all the empty new buildings, and the pedestrians getting ran over on the cross walks.... go Kunming! Double bonus when the tour bus itself tries to run everyone over when it takes a right turn.
Chinese consumers of rare animals now face prison
Posted byIn all honesty what do you think the police are going to do with it? I doubt they're going to send it to a nature reserve or something.
The police are too busy doing whatever they do. They don't even keep the crosswalks safe for little kids and the elderly from public buses.... yet they're going to take care of a pangolin? hah...
