Forums > Living in Kunming > China Is a Top Choice for Expats

My understanding of Expats is that it also include long term secondees. Living in another country does not require you to see your life in another country. In many countries, for tax purposes, you would be classed as non-resident and an expat if you expect to be gone for more than one year. Many expats repatriate.

@YJJZ88
If you are doing this at undergraduate level, there is no problem with using secondary data sources. You can then add some of your own observations from being 'on the ground' so to speak.
If you are at YNU you will be able to access data not available outside China. This will be in Chinese, but I am sure you can find an English speaking assistant who want to practice his/her English.

You usually here back very quickly after a demo. Sometimes immediately. It is good that you won't let it stop your job search waiting.

If you only occasionally come to Kunming, it may be cheaper to hire a van and driver, in Xishuangbanna, on a day rate. That way you also get an extra pair of hands if you are loading and lifting.

@Yereth, I can see the logic of what you are doing. However, there are only very few very long ads, and I often still want to scan/skim these, which I cannot do.
Overall I am no just not doing this as click and wait is not my style.
I may be alone but I don't think so.

A couple of things I noticed navigating.
1. In the comments section, I see oldest first, this requires me to click on the latest page number, another action required by the reader.

Can it be set to newest at top? Is this just my browser settings?

2. When I click to look at classifieds, I get a list of cropped ads. I need to click on each one to see full text. and then click to go back. Before I was able to scroll through all the complete ads, which was much easier and faster, even if I was scrolling past some ads. For me the ads are now less user friendly. I used to just skim though them, and occasionally I would make an impulse buy. Now, this is less likely.

Great changes.
Thanks to the GoK team, all.
I will also echo @Geezer, the grey font is hard to read, and a bit small for comfort if I was to read for a long time.

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.
