In Kunming,,sorry but you might have to do it here,, it goes like this
Take your Chinese document (wedding cert etc) to the Notary opposite the BaoShan hotel, its I think the 4th or 5th floor that specialises in Foreign issues, get it Notarized
, takes a day or two at max.
Check with your embassy if they can take this Notarized copy, normally EU countries needed the Notarized copy to be "Legalised" by the Dept of Foreign affairs in Beijing.
If so then take the Notarized copy and the original to the Foreign affairs department in Kunming (used to be next to the Pan Long river) they take your notarized document and send it to Beijing where it is legalised by the central Dept of Foreign affairs,,about 2 weeks later,,when you get it back your embassy can accept it. I am sorry but its been so long now that I dont have contact numbers anymore, 4 years ago it was a Mr. Tang who was in charge of this.
Hope this helps, not sure if you can get it done in Dali.
I have done the trip to Dali and furthur south a few times,,but a few years in the past and cant remember the tolls (claimed them anyway so didn't pay much attention), but my advice is that driving in most parts of Yunnan (read out of KM) is a really nice thing to do, and definitly having a car when you get to either of those places is such a big plus in terms of freedom of movement that I would suggest you drive, even though it will be more expensive than a flight after you consider fuel and tolls ( a smaller amount by far).
At 3 years kids in China can go to kindergarten (小班,young class), its not til 6-7 they start elementary here.
Most if not all local kindergartens and elementarys can take foreign kids, its just a problem to get them in as the good ones are often without spaces unless you are "connected".
Registration is done by each school and normally involves many trips until the right people are met.

has anyone noticed that on Sunday mornings they cordon off the Catholic church on Ren Min Zhong Lu and some people are standing outside the church listening to the service going on inside, the church seems full so it could be just a safety thing to make sure the Church isn't too crowded,,but I also wonder if you have to been "approved" to worship inside the church?
When will it ever end,,,, I had heard that they were going to restrict access to Beijing road,,but I thought it would be with an odd/even number plate system,,,,
when we renovated we took our workmen to B&Q to select materials from their excellent range if samples. Then with that list in hand we went to the construction market near Mingbo bridge and got the same materials at either half or one third of the B&Q price.

Posted bySounds good! But unless managment is carried out by the foreign side I don't see why this place would be different to any other hospital here.
