Forums > Living in Kunming > Residence permit.

I don't have experience with Z visa, but my first year in China was with the old kind of F business visa with a legitimate partner company in Wuhan, and I never have even visited Wuhan.

It was never an issue with anything in Kunming during that year. I rented apartment and registered at PSB normally.

Though that visa had 90 days per visit, and there was no residence permit.

The flags that may get up in systems, is to check whether you are secretly working for another employer in Kunming with illegitimate employer in Guangzhou.

But if you can prove that you are legit, in your situation I would go with it and deal with such troubles as they come.

@ricsnap: "Chinese culture which makes sense but certainly bad in the modern world"

Certainly I wasn't trying to defend the cultural tradition in any way, I was just stating how it is.

Organ donation is generally considered against traditional Chinese customs to treat their dead, which is why it is still so rare and why your Chinese colleaques would not have heard of such.

Even if a random Chinese would sign into this, his or her family may seriously object to it once they pass away.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Where to watch the Super Bowl?

Guangdong TV has been showing few NFL matches per week throughout the season, and will also show the final live starting 7:00 in Monday morning.

The channel also used to stream their NFL selection online for free, but I don't know if that still happens. At least once I saw their stream with English commentary, and few times with Chinese. I'd imagine the final to have big enough audience in China to comment in Chinese.

Anyway, check www.sinoepg.net for that and other sport schedules in Chinese TV.

This (or rather what is not included in that list of to-dos) sums the criticism that I personally have toward the whole ordeal, and how GoKunming (out of no choice I understand) had to respond to it with rest of the nation.

Ask questions and increase revenue, but feel free to avoid discussing and, heaven forbid, debating anything.

Not sure if this applies to Italy visas, but for many other European countries:

The Joint Visa Application Center that used to be in Beichen, is now relocated to an office building at intersection of .Shibo Road and Bojin Avenue.

I'm not a big fan of croissants anyway, and donuts I have not found in either of the establishments you mentioned.

@Dolphin: "savouring the croissant helps to cultivate appreciation. ie appreciating simple things rather than always feeling discontent that you don't have enough"

Perhaps, but it equally helps to cultivate ignorance of all the labor that has been put into creating that experience for you. At least I would allow you to feel discontent on behalf all the people who don't have enough, whether they had part in creating the croissant or not.

I't shouldn't anymore be about what you have or don't have, but what the other 7.7 billion (minus 1) people have or don't have. That's where the musings of Buddha (as quoted above) go wrong in this day and age.

There perhaps was a time, when embracing reality same way you would savour the croissant, could have been beneficial to achieving an enlightened state of mind.

But today, many would call such view on life quite the opposite of enlightened - it could be called ignorance or covering your eyes from all that is wrong. Perhaps that's suitable in Chinese context.

There, I connected the croissant to politics.
