Forums > Living in Kunming > Leaving Kunming? After living in China for 6 years decided was time to begin moving back to USA. Realized i was never going to be able to communicate easily. Have age related health issues, which minor now, could be much larger problem in future, with many treatment options in USA and none here.
Forums > Food & Drink > Price and salary development Seems like commercial rentals have not come down or even increased the past 5 years, but personally having lived outside the 2nd ring road my rent the past year was less than 5 years ago. Home i rented 5 years ago was 3,500 rmb and i rented this past year for 2,500.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Dry and High Kunming One of the most painful and long term side affects of dehydration missed by Long-Dragon can be Kidney Stones. Denver has the highest rate of kidney stones in the USA, and i was told 5 years ago while being treated for a kidney stone in a Kunming hospital, that Kunming is the highest in China. Doctor told me Kunming has a higher rate because of dry climate part of year and elevation. If you have never had a kidney stone, for sure an experience to avoid. Lastly the 5 years i lived in Kunming i found to be the most challenging to stay hydrated. Did not seem to matter how much i drank i still always was on the edge of being de-hydrated. I am living in a climate which has higher temps and very humid but having a much easier time staying hydrated.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Am I really in a place that bad? I think 1 year was the most common 5-6 years ago, but as they have built massive complexes everywhere in Kunming, has forced landlords to negotiate rents and payment terms. Last 2 rentals i had we paid 6 months at a time. Before that 1 year and was not a topic for discussion.
Spring City looks to embrace sweeping green agenda
Posted byInsulation, how about replacing the entire walls of single pane glass windows with smaller insulated double pane ones. Would make homes cooler in summer, warmer in winter and would allow people to actually sleep at night without all the noise.

Kunming cracking down on 'uncivilized' behavior...again
Posted byWhat a joke, maybe someone should tell police about this crack down. For the last several weeks going north on 3rd ring road just past Bejing road the vendors have had all but 1 lane filled at the intersection during the evening. Bicycle lanes and even more often 1-2 traffic lanes are being used for parking. Getting more dangerous riding my bicycle every day.
