Forums > Living in Kunming > Divorce in China: how to?

If your friend didn't register the marriage in his home country, then it's probably not valid outside China. If too lazy or cowardly to seek divorce, then the leaving China is the easiest way out.

I was able to book a room in the Jinjiang hotel. It's owned by the HomeInn (RuJia) company, which is right across the damn street. It's also considerably more expensive. Bastards.

I'll give jinjiang a try.

Hanting and HomeInn (RuJia) are very large hotel chains in China. I am pretty certain in the past they have been able to accept foreign guests, because they normally take my passport and register it in their system each time I stay.

I pass through Kunming at least twice a year. I normally stay at either the Hanting or the HomeInn hotel during this time. They are both popular Chinese hotel chains.

However, this time is different. Now both claim they are unable to accept foreign guests. Is there some kind of crackdown going on at the moment?

He's guilty of giving contracts to his friends in Jiangsu? He's practically a saint compared to western politicians if that's his only crime.

It seems like this man almost singlehandedly unfucked Kunming. The first time I was in Kunming was in 2008, and I remember thinking the whole place looked like a giant slum. Now it actually seems livable.

I'm sure a big part of the problem with air quality in Hong Kong is that it's a tiny city state, and they get a lot of the bad air from the mainland. Population density in HK is a little insane too.

Do you mean Foshan? AQI there is 65 today. Where I live it's 160. 160 is pretty must as low as it gets here. In 2012 there was a period of about three months where the AQI was between 500-1000.

Hebei region is generally considered to have the worst air quality in China. I have not spent much time in South China, but I do check AQICN fairly often. South China is generally considered to have better air quality than average.

The urban population of China is currently about 55%. In most developed countries it's between 80 - 90%. China's target for 2020 is 60%. I would guess it'll be about 25 years to catch up with the West. However, as already pointed out not all areas of China are suitable for large scale farming, so maybe what works for the West won't work for China.
