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?
You've lived in China for 6+ years and you're still disgusted by this kind of stuff?
No results found.
Editorial: Hydro expansion will fail without energy market reform
Posted byIsn't the government trying to shift away from dirty coal powered plants, to embrace "cleaner" energy like hydro, nuclear and natural gas? Considering over 70% of their electricity comes from coal, I really don't understand how you can have too much hydro. Is the energy source too far away from the demand?
Kunming police begin drive to register e-bikes citywide
Posted byXiefei, of course the system is designed to be able better monitor everyone's movements, not just foreigners. Everyone knows you can easily be tracked with your phone. Now there is yet another tool to keep better tabs on you. I won't be putting one on my bike, thanks.
I was just taking a cheap shot at those abusing student and travel visas.
Kunming police begin drive to register e-bikes citywide
Posted bySounds like a great way for the gubmint to keep tabs on people...especially pesky foreigners overstaying or working on school visas.
New high-speed rail line to link Kunming with Dali
Posted byI just found this article today:
www.comedali.com/tnew/show/id/2746
Now the opening date has been pushed back to late 2017 or early 2018.
I like how in the original gokunming article it stated "No cost estimates for the project were provided." That certainly turned out to be a major issue with regards to meeting the 2-3 year completion target. I guess I can't say I'm surprised considering Yunnan is known for poor work ethic and corrupt civil servants.
Fishing 'season' ends on slowly reviving Dianchi Lake
Posted byAs far as I can tell, Erhai is getting worse...at least the shoreline, mostly due to tourists throwing garbage into the lake, and lakefront hotels dumping in untreated sewage. I'm super depressed about the environmental situation in Dali, especially the air quality.
