Q: What sports teams are popular with locals here? (all sports)

It seems that with basketball the LA Lakers are pretty popular here (due to Kobe Bryant no doubt), and with soccer, I'd say its a close call between Manchester United and Chelsea. What teams have you seen that are popular here? Anyones that have surprised you? I swear I saw some kid wearing a Manchester United jersey that looked about 20 years old the other day!

Strangely, I'm still asked about the Chicago Bulls because of MJ from time to time.

I also see a lot of NY Yankees caps around, though that's likely due to the popularity of the logo.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
