Unfortunately we can't, the embassy isn't very useful

You're not wrong Ted, but I think predictable is a better word than understandable.

Back when China hosted the Olympics, the torch was going through France and some group was there protesting the Chinese Government. It's France, so they had the right to be there and there was probably no way to stop them even if anyone cared enough to want to.

That would be an awful experience.

I would call your embassy asap, they might be able to suggest something or give you a temporary replacement or something. I'm sure they would have seen this before.

You may also need something from the PSB to say that you still have a valid visa in order to leave the country. Do you at least have a copy of your visa and passport...

2 years ago I made the mistake of working on a Q1 visa. The recruiting company from Beijing told me I could. Hey! this was a Chinese company in the capital city of China telling me it was okay. Okay! so I was naive, I didn't know SOME Chinese people tell lies! I got caught at the end of May. I was lucky. When the PSB saw my passport they saw 4 work visas for different colleges.

Weird jobs you say? China has plenty.

The guys who work in bath houses and whose job it is to scrub guys down... that's got to suck.

I've seen it. There will be a (usually fat) naked dude lying on a table, and the scrubber who is also near naked goes over him top to bottom with what looks like a scouring glove. They get right in there..lift the nuts, spread the...

You can but only if you are a very good candidate for what the job is already. It's not necessarily going to be any easier at this point than doing it at home.

For example I have a bachelors in finance from a good university back home. I graduated in 2010 and there were no jobs. I taught ESL for a few months and absolutely despised every second of it but used the time to...

Social networking is about business, you move in to small group, catch a break in the conversation, introduce yourself and give out some business cards and move on, if you find a potential customer, you go into a holding pattern and linger there with the conversation a little longer, then move onto the next target group. It's business, not personal, unless of course you see some beefcake on...
