Q: How's your water in the big containers?

Recently a report said that there was dodgey water in Beijing. Worms and funny things grow in it, An expert suggested to use it within 3 days. I have never had a problem here with water and alien creatures in it. I stock up over the summer break, so how is your water?

i read some bug eggs were found in the cap of a nongfu spring water bottle, maybe on this site?

I think all water has some risk but it think its small( a tiny percentage will ever experience it)...Ive never had a problem with the big water dispenser bottles or from any or the small bottles...

BOIL, BOIL, BOIL! My school provides me with the large bottles of water and a dispenser. Frankly, I use the large bottled water only for washing dishes. I boil my drinking water.

Well I heard that story about the bottled water but how would you ever know? If the water is off a little you are going to suffer a short bout of diarrhea. I use tap water to wash dishes and boil eggs and bottled water for cooking food in like pasta or dumplings. Certainly boil water for coffee!!
The small bottles of water you need to be careful of keeping for more than a few days. take off the lid and have a sniff. Slightly off? Toss it.

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
