Q: Does your washing machine tie your clothes into a big knot?

Mine does.  If there was ever a need to tie all your clothes into a big knot, this machine would be perfect.

You have to learn to be more like the Chinese, tie your clothes in a knot before washing them, the washer will untie them, makes sense? TIC.

You probably cant read it because its a cheap chinese washing machine, but you probably have unwittingly hot the " secret, fire escape" button.  It happened to me, no big deal. Rookie mistake.  Just remember where it is, for when the blaze comes, having all your clothes tied together makes an enviable rope. Just tie it to the railing and escape to freedom.

Thank you Sanyo washing machine! Another life saved.

yes, and its a b!tch to untie sometimes.  i bought these oversized weird plastic balls with jagged edges to throw in the wash with the clothes.  it helps separate them.  it works a bit, but not a complete fix.

Yes it does. But for once I would say that China abides the laws of physics. It seems there is an even greater tendency for things to get properly tied together if it is some of the wifes clothing that is easy to rip apart. 

Perhaps this is a problem of top loading machines. It never happened for me with front loading machines. 

 

It's convenient though, just yank on a sleeve and you have all your laundry out of the machine. 

Scandinavian:

there are other heavy mysteries in the laundry. how come the machine can put all items into a duvet cover. also very handy. but this also happens with front loaders so not related to China as such.

I had 3 or 4 different washing machines and never encountered this. From the sound of it, I'm pretty glad I didn't.

  No, she dries them, folds them and packs them neatly in my wardrobe. Just don't tell her I call her my washing machine.

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
