Q: I really want to eat a macaroon...where can I get one?

If you don't know what I mean google it. The ones I enjoyed were wafery and had coconut filling and rice cake on the bottom - lush!  

 

I'm in Beijing by the way.

You mean 'macaron'? In Beijing? French restaurant 'The Fig Tree':

For more macarons in Beijing google 'macaron restaurant in Beijing'. 

OwainLW:

Heh, not quite. Apparently macarons and macaroons are different things.

I wasn't aware of English word 'macaroon', derived from Italian 'macaroni' or 'noodels' in English.

Hmm, I know in the Shanghai bakeries they have macaroons and cream puffs. Soo good. Can't remember the name of the bakery chain.

Just found this:

Metro has them.

Although in China, macarons are much more expensive than back home.

Chinese bakeries have so many good looking things that disappoint, I don't even bother except for some things I know I like, custard tarts. I've seem things with coconut on them, afraid to try. I bought a coconut cupcake and it was soaked in oil, wtf? But no macaroons.

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
