haofei Posted July 6, 2015 at 08:41 AM Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 at 08:41 AM Hi there, I tried to find blogs about life in Kunming to prepare myself for my semester there, but found very few. If you write any blog on Kunming or read some, I would be very happy if you could share it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted July 6, 2015 at 10:02 AM Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 at 10:02 AM Not a blog, but this has some information that might be of interest to you: http://www.gokunming.com/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudai Posted July 6, 2015 at 10:24 AM Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 at 10:24 AM Yeah, I recommend that forum. People are very helpful there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted July 7, 2015 at 12:48 AM Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 at 12:48 AM You can also simply type "Kunming blogs" into Google search to find a couple dozen others. Some look to be travel blogs, probably less relevant to your needs. But others seem to be about living here, working here, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haofei Posted July 7, 2015 at 08:58 AM Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 at 08:58 AM thank you, though not really helpful I tried Google, obviously, and after browsing 10 pages of results I gave up. I went on GoKunming and the website is lacking solid, accessible information about life in general. I'll try to help gather some useful information when I get to Kunming and post it somewhere, for future students/expats going there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted July 7, 2015 at 09:13 AM Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 at 09:13 AM I'll try to help gather some useful information when I get to Kunming and post it somewhere, for future students/expats going there. That would be a good idea. I posted some things like that here, but it was several years ago. (Apartment hunting, cost of living, how to get around and so on.) I still live here, but my "newcomer information" is out of date and I no longer live an expat type of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neekered Posted August 22, 2015 at 09:37 PM Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 at 09:37 PM I'll be moving to Kunming next week to study Chibese at KUST and have started a blog of sorts @ https://medium.com/@KunmingAndGowan/select-a-chinese-language-school-b3d50f00a227 I only have one poorly worded post so far, but I plan on keeping it updated once I move to town and am actually on the ground there. It will contain the usual noob issues I'm bound to run into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted May 6, 2016 at 03:45 AM Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 at 03:45 AM #7 -- How is your blog coming along? It has been about 8 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebir Posted May 6, 2016 at 04:43 AM Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 at 04:43 AM To anyone looking for a Kunming blog abbcdefg's topics are pretty bloglike & give a good flavour of the place (I spent 6m there). For practical questions the gokunming forum & classifieds are a goldmine. Plus you can ask (sarcasm & flaming seem somewhat common, but there are still a lot of helpful people).
