Your employer should be able to help you.
There is a specific clinic that used to be near the old airport. Your employer should be able to find the address, or search on here as it may have been discussed before.

You need an appointment and take 4 photos. You may need a Chinese speaker with you, unless you have done one of these before and know how they work.
You basically do a cycle of doctors/nurses offices. You pea in a cup, give blood, have an xray (sometimes), have ultrasound, eye test, check weight and height. Fill out some forms.

It takes under an hour, and costs about 400rmb. You will be expected to pay for this (not your employer) as the certificate is your property.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

@AlexKMG

One thing that can happen, is that an otherwise contributory thread is hijacked while you are away. When you return the thread has gone

I agree with you about thread deletion, unless absolutely necessary it can be annoying and penalises those who would otherwise benefit. It is better to deleted offending posts if you can, but then often what happens is the tread is broken and no longer makes sense.

Tidying up threads is a lot of work. To be fair to the GoK guys, I assume that they give of their time freely, and it is sometimes a thankless task. Add to that some people then come in and pea on their efforts.

The Chinese don't seem to be big on natural cheeses ;-)

But joking apart, what do you want it for? It might help people identify a suitable material.

And then there is the egg farmer, with the run off from the chicken slurry polluting the north shore. The smell of chicken slurry was very noticeable some days.
Perhaps the authorities should look at local serial polluters before going on the rampage about the occasional bad tourist.

I can only assume you have never been involved in any Agenda 21 groups. I have, and activities were very much bottom up and distinctly local (county level with specific regard to . Committees were formed from local people, most of whom were concerned citizens. A Local Agenda 21 document was produced formulated and produced by the group. Members of the local council were present, as volunteers, to look at feasibility, and to make sure that the document was published. I the document out LA 21 group produced, there were about 200 advisers in the group, from industry, academia, local NGOs and concerned citizens (including some conspiracy theorists, tree huggers and doubters) . All lived locally, all were stakeholders.

You may be surprised, but there were no representatives of the UN or big government present at the meetings.

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.
