    Diamond Mines in northern Canada are always looking for drivers   200 grand a year..  2 weeks in, they fly you out, 2 weeks out, travelling and spending what you made the previous 2 weeks.

    Check the application forms for the Taiwan visa.

     

    A lot of times, when you fill in visa forms there's a question about being denied or deported in your past. Don't know if the Taiwan forms have this question but it wouldn't surprise me if they did, it seems like quite a standard question.

    I extended it for another year after those 6 months.

    Shit bags like this douche are fading away. It is becoming less acceptable to be a rich arrogant and selfish person.

    Another recent surprise is that drivers commonly stop to let pedestrians cross. At least whete i am in the south. This is new and spreading like the 100th Monkey. People are taking pride in being well mannered in my neck of the woods too. It's refreshing.

    Yeah right, it takes a genius like you to start and build companies like Microsoft and Apple.

    Weakening America helps China. Lowering taxes on the rich and increasing taxes on the poor creates more debt and hurts the economy!

    That's the problem, it's worth $$$$$$$$$

    I have had this exact discussion with the missus. Alan, you'll be familiar with the term 'footering'? Maybe it's just an Aberdonian thing. Anyway it's about pissing about and doing nonsense 'busy work'. The MIL is the worst for it. Can't sit still for five minutes, like she has worms.

    The missus is getting better but only because I give her 'that face'.

    It is all over here though...

    I used to swim in a public pool and people there would just swim right into me. They would see me coming down the lane and swim directly at me until we either collided or I moved.

     

    For a while I thought that it was an anti foreigner dick waving thing (actually I still think it is sometimes) and do my best to make it hurt when they blundered into me but then I realized they...

    I think the first "not smart" thing you did was to think of everyone as a subordinate. They are in fact your team members. You are also a team member and your role is to supervise, not flex your muscles. It drives you nuts when your boss does this and then you do exactly the same thing. Think about it. Adapt, change, bend the rules and be more efficient.

    For clarity, I'm writing this as a former expat currently living in Germany with my Chinese wife and 2 kids.
    In my experience, no. They can be industrious, exploitative, or have serious cultural chauvinism. But most of the worst mainland behaviourisms are toned down. They know they're not in their own country.

    I experienced firsthand that there is an identity crisis in the Chinese...

    Two mentally competent consenting (and able to consent) adults - A and B - love each other very much and decide to make it 'permanent' (whatever that means these days!)

     

    If A and B are of different genders, then they have automatic rights to inheritance, insurance, power of attorney, custody of...

    Use the search bar above for ABC work permit. The info is there about requirements for getting a WP, and hence a Z. It's all about getting the government invite letter.

    You will 98% probababilty have to go to your home country to get your Z visa.

    Lots of info on' Redditt china visa too'. More current than the info here.

    I can understand how challenging it is to find time with your significant other, especially when there are kids.

    I have seen many couples (at home) whose relationship becomes strained when the children arrive as both are constantly tired, or one or other (or both) focus too much on the child to the detriment of the previously more close relationship with their partner.

    Some even...

    I don't like it when people invite me out to eat when I barely know them. Like student's parents.

     

    It's tedious, awkward and I never feel comfortable with being railroaded into a fake friendship that means I now owe them something, usually special attention for their little emperor.

    Placating the poorer sections of society with entertainment to distract them from gaping inequalities is as old (if not older) than the Roman Empire where 'bread and circuses' were the order of the day.

    I think we will be rounded up and escorted to the border.

    I think foreign owned manufacturing plants could be put under government control.

    Exports would stop.

    Consider the export thing. I went on a bike ride today. Got annoyed over a massuve Amway factory.
    It blocked my natural progess of my round island ride.

    As I was feeling anoyed, I wondered if the US...

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
