Q: Is there any point in buying a humidifier?

My nasal passages are irritated because of Beijing's extremely dry air and am thinking of buying a humidifier as a result. Has anyone ever used one before? Do they actually make a difference?

I have one in my bedroom.  It really does make a difference, so yes, I do think it is worth having.

I used to have one when I just got here, and I remember my skin not feeling like sand paper at that time, so I guess it is effective. I lost it afterwards, and got used to the dryness, but I kinda wish I had one right now.

Glass of water does the job, you'll be surprised how quickly it disappears.

They make quite a big difference. ... Beijing has dry air so getting a humidifier would be a smart move to make. I actually need to start using mine because my lips have become totally dry and chapped as a result from this weather. ..

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
