 Are you looking for the part-time FT?

 

I lived in Dalian in 2012/13 and city is blast. Windy with cleaner air and sometimes sunny.

I moved to Xinjiang (better Contract), because my full-time mill sucked.

You're on the wrong forum... you want a Middle Eastern Ancient History forum...

 

Ur was a city on the banks of the Euprhrates almost 6000 years ago, but now is  in the middle of the desert in Iraq. This is very far from Dalian. AFAIK, the two cities never made contact, especially since Dalian didn't exist until around 4000 years later. (although, I do admit to citing Ur's date as it's origins, not it's endpoint - which was around 2000BCE... so, you never know!)

 

It was a very prosperous city, though there were a lot of wars around that time - so I imagine Ur life would have been good much of the time, but really really bad at other times!

 

Ur had a lot of expats, given it was on the coast (like Dalian), and was a major city for trade.

 

Even though Ur had been buried under the sands for almost 4000 years, their inhabitants are still vastly more civilised than the locals of Dalian (even excluding the Babylonian influence... in Ur, obviously - Babylon had some pretty good laws (and enforcements) that Dalian still lacks - such as punishments for negligence, corruption, and not giving aid to strangers in need).

 

(ps, as a proper noun, 'Ur' should be capitalised!)

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
