Q: Do you think all those powders added to our food are laxatives?

I know of gutter oil, which I assume would have really negative affect on your body, probably diarrhea, vomiting, etc.  However I feel since coming to China my bowel movements are ridiculous.  Not unpredictable or uncontrollable.  Just big.  I drink a lot of green tea and eat a lot of vegetables and try to exercise daily.  Has anyone else experienced rather large bowel movements since coming to China.

I believe it is all the vegetable/canola oils and chemicals they use in the food. Vegetable and canola oils are inflammatory to the body, and it's well known that additives like MSG have bad side effects. Some say that it is the lack of hygiene, but I don't think that is the whole story.

  Hmmm, bowel movements; their general size and girth is a matter of great interest to me also. Mine, I find, tend to be Herculean, causing me to stand up in order to allow a full extraction, my mind sometimes conjuring images pertaining to an almost Biblical battle between good and evil as it staggers to weigh the behemoth unleashed from my bowels. Beethoven's 7th stirs majestically in the netherworlds of my consciousness in the moments of these movements, and somewhat ironically in fact as it is generally at around 7 that such movements take place.

  But is it the powders? God only knows. Personally I blame the beer.

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
