Q: Does you local train station have a clock?

So I just finished my summer vacation to Saipan this year and waiting in the Beijing South train station departure area, I noticed that if you did not have a watch or a phone, there is no clock with the current time.

 

Jinan post the current time on the computer board and the platform while your waiting.

 

Smaller stations usually have a clock on the wall at some distance from the seating area.

 

I just thought if a traveler from a different time zone came off a flight and taxi to the train station and could not get the correct time and did not speak Chinese, he or she is SOL In the capital city of China. Rather odd.

 

In other news for any Americans, have to check the facts with some research, but Saipan has medicare for all inhabitants regardless of income and a flat 9 percent income tax regardless of income, and no winter, might have found my new retirement home, one local had his daughter flown to San Diego for surgery, plane, hotel, everything paid.

Ya I've noticed the missing clocks in stations. Now they just display the time on the electronic schedule boards. 

ambivalentmace:

The schedule board in Beijing had departure times but not the current time in the departure area, oddly the current time was on the schedule board when you go through the entrance of the building but not in the departure area.

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
