It depends on your local area. Head outside to see one of those delivery guys on the pedal tricycles (or electric bike) that delivers water, there is usually a phone number on them somewhere. If not, ask him for a card. He'll probably ask where you live, tell him your address and see if he delivers there (if you see him in your general neighborhood, it's a safe bet he does.) These guys will usually have you buy lots of bottled water and give you redeemable tickets, so be prepared to shell out a few hundred RMB. Or just ask a neighbor if you can speak Chinese.

Also, you can order if from Carrefour if there is one close by:

For the "Big 3" in Shanghai, (I haven't used them in years) here are the numbers. They DO NOT have English speaking the last time I used any of them, but feel free to check:\

NongFu Springs
800-8571-058

Watsons
400-889-6888

Nestle
800-820-8898

Whenever i move to new apartment, the security guys are the right people who introduce you with these water guys..they generally prefers that you buy at least two or three bottles at once..

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
