If the toilet paper was made any thinner it would float off the holder. Did you know they make the wings of planes from the same stuff, perforated with a tear off point and the wings never fall off? Same as my toilet paper! Never tears on the dotted line!

  If it didn't you'd never get it off the roll. Anyway it's better than the paper you used to find in France, you couldn't cut that stuff with scissors. Sort of paper people line baking trays with. The running joke, if I remember correctly, was, 'The money falls apart in your hands, and you can't tear the toilet paper'. But here..... erm..... I haven't used it in ages. A hose next to the dunny and the word of the day is 'enema'. I've got a shinier ring than the Pope.

It's worth staying clear of the cheaper brands of TP, the one I am usually told to carry back from the store is about 30-35RMB for a pack of 10 rolls. Have not had a single "smelly finger" incident.

I take wet wipes. It is like having a portable bidet!

In Puerto Rico, we use bidets as a matter of course.

I am the first to say that the Moors were the ones who civilized the Spaniards....

As to regular toilet paper:

I heard there's an ancient Chinese torture, where they feed the victim monkey brain hot pot and force him to take a dump in a community squat toilet, with budget TP just out of reach.

 

Then if they really wanted answers, they'd force the prisoner to take the bathroom trash out - and they used those fixed-to-the-floor bins, with no liner.

 

Crimes against humanity, I tell you...

GuilinRaf:

Yeah,  we used that in Abu-Gharib prison until the UN went psycho o our asses....

Ripped toilet paper, your finger is brown with your excreta.

Now, there is no water or soap to clean your hand with.

AND you gotta eat from a communal plate.

Hellish enough?

There's a brand called Vinda

Stay away from the cheaper brands, especially those that don't have the tube in the center.

Hulk:

I can verify that this brand is very good. No brown finger incidents.

The cheaper brands rip when taking off a piece of it. I use something called "flower" (in English) with pink flowers on the package. The other stuff is horrible. Generally speaking, the more expensive, the better. So stay away from packs of 12 RMB paper.

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
