Q: Is the designer make-up and perfume at markets all fake?

I've seen famous perfume like Chanel for sale at markets for as little as 10 kuai a bottle and products like L'Occitane hand cream and Dior mascara for 20 kuai or less. The packaging really looks like the real deal but I'm skeptical because they're so cheap. Is it possible that they're confiscated real items from airport customs? That's what I'm hoping....

Yes. If it's at a market and it's ridiculously cheap then it is a fake, guaranteed!

I give you my secret technique to realize if fake or not. Call the vendor, look at her in the eye with an inquisitive look, then ask her "why so cheap?". Most of the time the will look down left. It shows they are embarrassed. If they keep confident, then it's real.

Did I tell you about my 550RMB (supposed to be 700RMB) iPhone4? When it arrives in 10 weeks, it will be awesome.

yes some are fake and some are not depending where are you buying it from.... carefulness and understanding of the quality can make you save alot of money... but the entire products are not fake. chinese people are not that much innocent to be using fake expensive product without having objection for it... chinese government will take a bit of care for its people in this regard i guess. its corrupt but not entirely i guess.

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
