Forums > Living in Kunming > Notary certificate of marriage (认证公证书), Dali

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.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Driving in Yunnan.

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).

Forums > Living in Kunming > Any Expat Families with Kids in Kunming Public Schools?

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.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Fake Apple Store in Kunming

If you look at the Apple site then you can see that Xinya is Apples "better" re-seller in Kunming, but there are about 13 in total.

I thought the pic of the guy giving the photographer the bird was great.

@Xiefei, I remember about in the late 1990's that Beijing had regulated that public toilets be free and that if you needed to use a toilet that you bars and restaurants had to let you use their toilets even if you were not a customer.

Places like Yunnan implement laws differently. For eg: Tobacco advertising is illegal in China, but in Yunnan you wouldn't know that.

On the radio they said that 'Yunnan was one of the, slightly,a little bit more by a bit, provinces for Aids cases.. But with one of the lowest populations in China and having the most cases maybe they should be a bit more direct about the issue.

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.

It's a good place for window shopping.
