Q: Hanging out clothes to dry with pollution?

I don't have much of an option as my apartment in Beijing is rather small, but I always wondered whether this had any impact. Basically, with all the dust and pollution flying around, does it have any effect on the clothes or bed sheets that you hang out to dry outside?

Last time I hung my wet clothes outside, they came back all beige from the dust, so during those windy times I would advise you not to do the same.

During the windless times, I guess it'd be better, but the pollution still is an issue...

This situation has a few simple solutions, if it is of importance (or at least concern) to you.

You can either :

1.- Buy a clothes dryer.

2.- Install a "hanging line" inside the apartment walls to avoid the wind and the pollution.

3.- Only wash clothes on days with no wind.

 

Just remember, after clothes are dried and you wear them, you do not stay inside the apartment, you go out and then they will get exposed to the environment and pollution anyway.

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
