Forums > Living in Kunming > Trying to buy a dog

We have a local farm dog at home, 云南土狗

have had her since 2004 and so far so good, we are very happy with her. She has been quite low maintenance but with age has become a little snappy around kids visiting our home, but no issue for our own kids or kids that are known to the family. We got her when she was about 5 weeks old and just weaned.

Farm dogs need to be given a very good cleaning and deworming. Check very carefully for insects in the ears and on the skin.
We were able to register her no problems.

Forums > Study > Local K-12 School that accepts foreign students?

Hi JanJal,

Before you opt out of applying for a Finnish passport you should check if you can get your child onto your wife's Hukou, if you can't do that then your kid will be considered as an 'unregistered' citizen and wont get a place in a local school for free anyway or be able to apply for a Chinese passport.

Most people I know that are in your situation apply for the child's foreign passport, the child doesn't need a visa to live in China as the Chinese consider a child with at least one Chinese parents to be Chinese.

Each time you leave China you will need an exit permit for the kid which is easy and quick for your wife to apply for and is shown together with the foreign passport to leave and get back into China.

Parents of foreign kids that I know of pay about 20k rmb a year for a local school, but as your kid would be technically a Chinese citizen, even without a hukou it would probably be cheaper.

Ask your wife to check the cost at a local school near you for reference.

China already has a "compulsory" paid leave system. The trouble is that there is the vast majority of companies don't give their staff they legal rights.

The government wants people to go on holidays in order for them to spend money, they even make highways free to encourage this! But the only thing they can do to make sure most staff actually get holidays is to make a few days public holidays (300% OT) in a row so staff actually get some days off work to go spending.

Maybe this list needs to be updated, reading it make me reminisce about a Kunming of the far past, easy traffic, low/no pollution, much smaller city, bird and flow market with character...

Pisa and Weis have gone the way of the Dodo.

Roccos has moved

Teresas' big place is being renovated and I am not sure if it will ever open again, the smaller place on Wenlin Jie is still going,,I think.

When I saw that Kunming people had asked the American government for help to stop the refinery and PX project on the Whitehouse Petition website I at first thought it was extremely funny, but when you feel your own government is not listening to you,,what options do you have?

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.
