I don't live in Kunming, but...

It was one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited. Too bad there were drugs everywhere, and police tanks prowling around everywhere. It was like I was living in a... police state. I actually fully expected to get shelled by those cops.

Wow.. Was that recently?

Hulk:

2 years ago.

It's really beautiful if you can avoid all the potheads and heroin addicts. The scenery is really nice. I would recommend going on some tours to nearby places, like the stone forest.

There wasn't too much pollution when I went there, and it was always sunny. It's REALLY hot.

Keep in mind that Yunnan is in the golden triangle... lots of drug trafficking in the region. Do not attempt to piss anyone off there. I often go hulk on people who do really dumb things, or if I'm having a really bad China day... but I will not screw with anyone in Yunnan province. You never know if you'll piss off a crazy drug pusher/seller/mover/whatever.

I hate hot! The main reason I wanted to go to KM was because it's spring city right? People keep telling me I don't need AC there...

Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have be

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information. I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
