Forums > Living in Kunming > New Health check form at bus/metro

When I was entering the subway on Saturday I noticed the police officer at the entrance getting ready with a pen to record my information on a log sheet at her desk. When I showed the green screen she nodded and put the pen down.
In the early days of the virus there were also people on buses taking info from the seniors who did not have smart phones.

I get BOC online banking in English, but it only works (at the moment) on IE, which is no longer supported by Microsoft.

If the OP is referring to a mobile app I can well imagine it being Chinese only.

What I find more disturbing now with BOC is that they are now installing so many "Intelligent ATMs" in the branch and doing away with people.

Unlike the old ATMs, the new ones do not have an English option, and for some reason are all within the branch, while old machines in the 7/24 service area are often out of service.

It's still being used at the subway and PSB.

I used/visited both yesterday and you could not get in without scanning right in front of them.

I noticed the bus also has the new QR code on the entrance door but nobody scans it.

When I walk the dog each morning I pass our community health clinic where they have the QR code out front.

I make a point of scanning it to be sure I'm still current.

It seems to want an update every 2 weeks or so.

@daodejingster
That's a reasonable assumption.

Let's hope the vaccination development proves successful sooner rather than later.

The visa office has changed some of their procedures.

It appears the 30 day "extension" visa is no longer 30 days.

The computer now assigns the expiry date based on the application date plus 28 days, so my next expiry date will be October 6th.

That date is a national holiday, so I have to go in before the visa expires, and that means September 30th.

Every time it expires on a weekend or holiday I get screwed out of extra days.

I'm beginning to believe that the general population here is either not concerned with food safety or has no concept of it.
Yesterday while walking up Longquan Lu, we passed a man butchering a pig - in the middle of the (dirty) sidewalk in front of his restaurant.

Had my first ever visit to Slice of Heaven last night for a group party. Barbara recognized me as a newcomer and immediately came to welcome me and introduce herself.

While speaking with her at the counter, a server walked past with a pizza for one table. The aroma immediately caught my attention. It was awesome.

Our group shared 4 different pizzas. All were amazing. I think the sauce really makes the difference since it was very flavourful. I also put back to cups of cappuccino. I guess they must have fixed problems noted in other reviews because I found it to be quite good.

If I lived closer I would be a regular here.
