Forums > Living in Kunming > Driving License renewal

You need your current licence, passport, household registration from the police, photos and medical test.

You can get photos near the licence place. Then get your medical test done at the licence center, costs 10rmb last November.

You need to ask at the center about if you miss your deadline for renewing.

Forums > Living in Kunming > 12345 - Mayor's Hotline

Making a report to the hotline for safety issues etc is important and should be commended. I called once about trees that needed trimming, not only did they do the work quickly but they also called to make sure I was satisfied that the work had been done and in a good way.

For urgent things like broken traffic lights etc call 110

It's better to report things so they can be fixed, most people don't do that so the city government doesn't get the info that those things need to be done.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Construction Bank Union Pay Thailand

Union pay cards work in most Thai (and Burmese..) ATMs. The withdrawal fee is fixed (about 10rmb) so better to withdraw the money you need for the trip in fewer translations.

Not sure about Indo

I was in Qingdao last week, its a popular tourist destination, with a very hilly layout in some ways similar to Kunming, but not only is Qingdao much easier than Kunming to get a taxi, with much better traffic speed, this northern "mountain city" is also building a subway system,,,but unlike Kunming the local government has requested that the construction does not effect traffic, so all construction is being done off to the side of roads.

According to one taxi driver the impact on the every day life of Qingdao citizens is so minimal that many locals dont even know a subway is being built!,,

It is really very interesting to see how different cities in China are managed.

But it was bloody freezing,,something Kunming has under control!

For Europe I would say it will most likely be Amsterdam over London or Paris as there are quite a lot of Dutch companies here,,Plus KLM already has the rights for passenger flights KM to Holland, currently KLM is already flying direct to Chengdu from Holland.

Its the norm in China when officials are being introduced or presented for a position that the media give all information, name, ethnic group, sex (especially if its a female), place of birth etc

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.
