Q: 7am phone calls. Do you get these?

There seems to be no time that is deemed too early to call someone here. My wife's phone (and a some cases, mine) may ring as early as 7 or 7:30am. Don't they have any respect for other people's personal time? I would rather get the call at 10pm the night before.

No, I've even gotten messages from the phone company at midnight, other messages or calls at 2 in the morning. This is why I put my phone on silent at night, or I could be woken up at who knows what hour.

Not only at 7 am, but sometimes at 2 and 3 am too.  But I have a pay back.  My cell phone saves the cell number of the calls received, with date and time.  Ja, Ja, when I get up (if I do) at night for WC, I pick my cell phone and entertain myself calling back those that annoyed me at weird hours too.  Since I started that, only sales calls come in at odd hours.

That is why after my first term I NEVER give my number to my students (except the class monitor). I was getting text messages and calls as late as 2 am! 

Now, I do get those "one time ringgers" at all hours but being a VERY deep sleeper, I dont know it unless I am already awake or I see the number the next day.

I always am but that doesn't mean I want to be bothered by trivial crap at that time.

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
