Q: What reaction you have when you see an obvious non-Chinese behaving as badly as the locals ?

Average Chinese behavior in the wild can be infuriating. Trying to say something tends to be useless, even dangerous at times. Then I see people who are obviously not Chinese, either speaking English or my native language, and misbehave exactly as the local would do, something they would never ever do in their home country. Did you bother saying anything ? How did it it go ? (Students from SKEMA Business School of Suzhou, I'm looking at you, you bunch of drunk bonobos)

Well, if they proposition you, just don't take any RMB 100 notes.  Insist on dollars only or Euros.  Use only imported condoms, the local ones leak, or so I am told.

 

Seriously, you all, just because they are behaving boorishly, doesn't mean the rest of us have to...

I'm sorry, but you really can't knock young dumb people for being young and dumb. The problem is that they are in the wrong country. Chinese people are allowed to behave like animals, but that does not apply to foreigners. The problem with growing up in a free society is that you do not realize that other countries are different. This is actually a serious issue. Students usually take silly risks, because in there home countries the act is a misdemeanor or not enforced. In China, some of these acts are punishable by death. 

Students should be forced to go through a 1 week orientation before coming to China. 

DrMonkey:

Amen to that. Thanks to those guys (third batch of French business students), locals now associate 'French' with 'brash & drunk bonobos'. So when I say 'I'm French, I get the long look and some snarky remarks'.

  My initial feelings are generally of sentimental longing for the same youthful abandon and relief that I don't have to go through all that again. My advice is the next time you see such a group of rabble-rousers jostling their way drunkenly towards the next bar, join them, you might have a laugh.

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
