Forums > Living in Kunming > Visa-Overstay Amnesty

A recent thread discussed receiving a 60-day visa extension due to the Covid-19.
Would anyone know if this might also apply to a serious visa-overstay, in the spirit of a general amnesty?

Do people in the UK really have to feed a meter with coins for heat?
There must be a lot of coins in circulation?
Well, off to the market, dressed like a snot-nosed Eskimo with a face mask.
I am going to steal your carpet, btw

Having attempted yesterday to make a short move to a new apartment, the broker was told by the 'police' that as a foreigner, I would have to stay in a quaranteed

hotel for 14 days before being cleared to make a move. I have not left KM for 7 months.

In my cold dark cave of an apartment, heat has been required since early November.
I was more worried about air-con here in "Spring City", but no, wrong once again in this life
Well, Stranger in a Strange Land, as Leon Russell is howling at me..

So you need heaters all the year round in Canada, with no summer?

This KM Spring City is a mystery. if it is Spring, then a heater is not required? But no, my heater fires its little heart out for 15 weeks..

Off topic: I was fortunate to have visited the cemetery of Rachel's namesake; Ernest "Papa" Hemingway, at Ketchum Idaho. Far off the beaten track; a winter ski resort area, it was worth the detour, for those with a literary inclination..

He lies alongside wife Mary, with a slender evergreen at the head of both graves, which were simple slabs of dark granite; about 8 feet (2 & 1/2 M) long.. Visitors had left little trinkets, coins, etc, at the foot of the graves; otherwise, no magic-markings or signs of desecration in this quiet and desolate location.. Other Hemingway graves were not far away, but whose names I don't remember.

And when in doubt, recycle anyway. Even if the plastic is unfit for re-use, it is generally incinerated in environmentally approved facilities, with proper filtration.

Burnt unfiltered plastic releases toxic levels of p.c.b's.

It is regrettable that bio-degradable plastic has yet to gain traction on an industrial basis. It was developed around 5 years ago, in the US, as I recall.
Many people simply don't grasp the theory of recycling; never have and never will.

My experience indicates that southern Europe is as guilty of plastic pollution as the Asian nations; there are simply many more people in Asia.
