As always, expect local interpretations and things lost in translation. Like some changes in the past, this article suggests a lot, but the reality could be very little.

There is nothing about this on lawandborder.com/category/china/ yet, and this is perhaps the best Website I have seen on these matters.

However, it does look like the Chinese government is trying to enforce a more uniform and open interpretation of policy, which can only be a good thing. lawandborder.com/[...] . It does now look as if a number of issues related to some of us long termers will be addressed.

I saw on the news today that there was a shooting in N Laos, targeting Chinese. I also think that the US consulates have an existing travel warning regarding central Laos.

If you come here to study, you can learn Chinese, and get to know the lie of the land. Especially if you are new to China.

Once you are here, you will have more chance of finding legal work that you will also enjoy.

So what? If the proper rate is 400, not problem. If the proper rate is 1000, and you get paid 400 because of your ignorance, and then you find out.....?

Blobbles, if there are not trees, you may be able to make out farmers routes on Google Earth. You can sometimes.

If you have personal GPS you could also check progress by pre-defining lat-long from Google Earth before you leave home and write them on a print out.

Just an idea.

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.
