well, I go digital myself, but my thoughts on your question are like this-

 

it probably is not considered appropriate by most, but fk 'em, the way we introduce new ways of doing things is by a few people being bold enough to act!  No matter what someone might say there is nothing bad about getting a gift cert. or sth similar.  It's still a gift, shows you were thinking of them.  A decent person would be grateful.

 

as my ol' mammy always said:  'Never look a gift-horse in the mouth'

Curiousdude:

well said dude. this shd surely be the answr of the day.

Your saving (Rmb) will dip some 5-10% in next month. IMO, you're better off with holding some PM coins.

imo 5-10% in a month is improbable. a pct up or dwn is more likely

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
