Dear Tsonj,

 

Might you please tell us what city you are in?  The question is so general that what might be valid for Beijing will hardly be valid for another city, etc., etc.

 

It is possible to find plantains in China, indeed, and it is possible to order them from taobao, believe it or not but everything depends upon your location.

 

I await your reply,

They are quite plentiful here in Yunnan.

In Hangzhou you may not be so lucky!

I went there, they didn't know what it was. Searched...they didn't have. I did find a 'bugger flicker' though. She was really digging, as soon as she found some she rolled it between her fingers and then flicked it right onto the oranges she was standing in front of.

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 student visa to labourer one 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
