Usually I just stare back, wearing my RayBans. I spend a lot of time around factory workers. Sweet people, but the very definition of simple-minded. When they see a big, handsome, well-dressed professional looking white man in their environment, their eyes bulge out of their head and the giggling/whispering begins.

Most of the time I take it in the spirit in which it is offered, but occasionally it just truly gets on my nerves- so then I 'Stare them Down'.

Funny to see how disconcerted they get. Perhaps, just perhaps, they begin to understand that just as my staring at them has made them to feel uncomfortable, their staring at me might make me uncomfortable too.

Turn your head and point randomnly into the sky with an amazed expression on your face!

 

That usually results in the focus being diverted elsewhere.

It's true that staring back with an evil eye works the best...the the funniest is to stick your middle finger up your nose and keep it there until they turn away...great for some laughs.

But make sure it's done in a way that flips them the bird at the same time.

Definitely, staring back is the best solution. If you can try to make the void staring face when you look at them. I love to do it. It seems that I'm staring, but my mind is thousand miles away from them.

I have a long tongue that I use to caress my nose while I stare cross-eyed. Wait, no, that produces the opposite affect.

Invent a time machine and go forward about ten years to a point where foreigners are no longer a novelty or an unusual sight, though by then, once the novelty has worn off and they've started getting sick of us, you might want to come straight back.

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
