Q: Anyone know a good store in Shenzhen to buy "real" DVD's?

Something with a good selection of English movies with Chinese subtitles.
I have only found a few with crappy selections.
Even a store with a good selection of fakes will do fine.

I have never seen any place in China selling real DVD's.  I had thought that I had bought some in a walmart once, but they turned out to be even worse copies than the ones I can buy for 5RMB on the street corner.

thedude:

I actually bought some the other day at a big "book" store here. They were real, in normal cases like home, and were about 30 rmb each. They worked great. Problem is the selection was the pits.

Xpat.John:

Best to try Amazon.cn. The problem is that most real western movies are either banned or heavily edited here. So if you are lucky enough to find real DVD's, the selection is likely to be slim.

There is a very limiting censor law in China that limits the number of western movies that can be released for show in the theater and for sale in the DVD shops. You will not find any more then 10 or 15 titles at any one given time in any of the shops that sell reral DVD's.
I am guessing this is the biggest reason that the illegal ones are so much in demand.  Mix city has a small shop on the main floor, that would be the Starbicks floor that has some good ones but again very limited.

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
