My wife does not have a Kunming Hukou, but has a temporary ID for Kunming. It was needed for visa renewal.
In the past my wife's application has taken one month, but last time it was two weeks, as there is a new computerized system. It was issued at the same police station as I register my place of residence.
Fried goat cheese, in batter.
I was at a village the other day and I ate this.
Fried goat cheese, they called it suan rubing (sour goat cheese). Maybe you can buy suan rubing, or you just wait until it is a little ripe.
The cheese was cut into strips, about 4-5mm square and about 20mm long (julienne style), dipped in a simple flour batter, and deep/shallow fried quickly (you would only need about 10mm of oil for this one).
Served with a spoon of sugar and a spoon of black pepper on the side, for dipping.
Stinky tofu makes as much sense as blue cheese, which I love.
My father worked with Sudanese in the 1950s. He said that they thought that the European's habit of eating rancid milk (cheese) was disgusting.
Environment is also now a key factor in a local governments performance evaluation. This changed last year after the environmental figures for China were published.

For the sake of academic rigour required for your degree, assumptions like, “"it could be that the government isn't very much concerned about the environmental problems…" should be avoided. There is plenty of evidence that central government is very concerned and that will have trickled down through policy. Environmental concerns were high on the agenda at the CPCC conference last year.
In the public sector things don’t get done for specific reasons. The most common one is that the department does not have a remit to do something; it does not mean that they are not concerned. Reasons for no remit/mandate include budgetary, policy, and political concerns, or there might not even be a policy yet as it could still be work in progress. Work might also fall under the remit of another department. No matter how concerned government officers are, if they do not have a mandate to do something, their hands are tied.
Regarding who does what, don’t assume government structures will be the same as in your home country and that things are done the same way by the same people/department. I can give you some examples. In the UK most people would be surprised to know that in most cities in the USA the fire department runs the paramedic teams. In China the fire service is part of the Army. I have seen a police vehicle drive past a road accident, moments after it happened, they were not traffic police; perhaps helping would be crossing jurisdictions.
Who does what? Is a question for your supervisors, NGOs and other interviewees. If someone says to you that, ‘No one is interested’, then cite your source in your work and perhaps you could question if that is the case, if you have no other source to corroborate it.
There are lots of online sources that can help you plan your research. Good luck with it.
As with most big projects, among the biggest challenges will be the politics. This has already been seen in the China-Singapore project.
I used to work on govt projects in the UK and it is always the politics that proves one of the biggest hurdles, mostly before building even starts.
In a country where the government does not have to worry about the political fall out from such projects, it is easier to build what you want, largely where you want. As soon as other stakeholders get involved (especially if they have the power of veto, e.g. other countries, states or provinces) it gets bogged down very quickly.
I love this. The building will be a major traffic generator on one of the biggest pinch points on the inner ring road (Huancheng Nan Lu, Huancheng Xi Lu, meeting Dianchi Lu).
As the building is only a short distance from Er Huan Nan Lu, a lot of the traffic will want to join this second ring road. However, Er Huan Nan Lu is already overcapacity, and is perhaps the most congested section of 2nd ring road already.
I think something may have been lost in translation. It sounds a bit like the 'guests' will be those buying real estate (maybe holiday homes). Not sure, just trying to make sense of it.
There are numerous failed resorts across China. There was a resort built at Anning Hot Springs, complete with mountain walks and cable car. The remnants of the cable car can still be seen.
I find it interesting that the figures for tourism and real estate have been compiled. An increase in the combined figure does not necessarily mean that both are growing.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.

Kunming police now permitted to carry sidearms
Posted by@mPRin, I agree. It only ups the ante for the criminal. Now they are more likely to carry.
