Forums > Living in Kunming > Single Mom in Kunming

It may help if you define what you mean by a nanny. A live in person could cost you the same as you would earn as a teacher.

If you mean hourly paid person, finding someone with that flexibility may also be a problem.

You should also consider that many employers would not be willing to employ a single mother, finding work may be difficult. I have seen local teachers, recently married, asked to sign contracts that they won't get pregnant, I know this is not your case, but it demonstrates the employment environment.

Free shell fish will be over popular. I thought limited offers like that were stopped because of a stampede over cooking oil where three died, in 2007.
Basically, a Chongqing supermarket had 200 bottles of oil on special price. People were queuing from 4 am. When the doors opened a stampeded led to tragedy.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Hospital recommendations for giving birth

From my own experience I can see the healthcare in the large cities has improved dramatically in the last 10 years. Not only access to newer treatments, and standards of wards, but there has been a huge government crackdown on pharmaceutical and other costs, as well as corruption within some hospitals. One of the big hospital heads in Kunming was brought to book a few years ago.

The CVV/CVC number will be the last 3 digits on the back.

I think the first 4 will be the last 4 of your credit card number. These are not part of the CVV number.

I lived in Shanghai for a number of years, it is pretty humid all year round. The summer is hot and wet, and yes once you walk out of the door in the morning you know you will be drenched in sweat all day. The winter is cold and damp, with the damp getting into everything, bedding, clothes, even your bones.

Pay in Shanghai is much higher, but you need the extra money just for apartment rents and higher prices for entertainment.
Shanghai is a good place for work, entertainment, shopping, and transportation, but it really is living in the rat race. Shanghai offers a higher standard of living, Kunming by comparison is more relaxed and offers a better quality of life. IMHO.

I think the advantages for short term rental ebikes are the same as they were for short rental bicycles. With the added advantages of no additional cost charging, and no overnight parking issues (ebikes worse than bikes for this one).
The other advantages for the user, shared by both ebike and bicycle, include: free parking, can park anywhere, you can cross town on the metro and pick up another ride, no concern about theft (a big concern), and I am sure there are others.
