I have no idea what those around Shanghai Indoor Stadium will be doing walking around with fist fulls of 100 Rmb notes. But in some countries that I have visited, similar fellows were seeking to exchange the money they hold for foreign currency. Totally illegal to do so, by the way.

A word of caution, many of those fellows are experienced coon artists, and either feed you counterfeit money, or somehow short change you. I do all my currency exchange at official banks.

I figured it was something to do with counterfeit notes, but couldn't be sure. Cheers.

Q: Can a Z visa holder do graduate studies in China while working?

A: Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside

A:Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
