1. Being lost somewhere where you can't read  anything, nobody understand, nothing works like back home, and every street/building looks the same. Ho, and everything is oversized.

2. Later on, feeling completely in your element in that very same place

3. Eating at hole in the wall restaurant and having a bit of chit-chat with an old guy there

4. A student giving you an apple because he/she is so grateful of the help you gave him/her

5. Enjoy the awfully formal first visit to your gf/bf familly.

6. Sitting watching the Spring Festival show with lots of people, clothed like for an Antarctica expedition because insulation, mei you

7. Having the runs during a bus trip to some touristic place, and squat toilet in the middle of the countryside for your relief. (Bonus : old guys smocking in the bus for 10 hours)

8. Classic Beijing/Shanghai tea ceremony/ art expo scam
9. Jogging in the smog with the locals giggling and shouting 'KAN KAN LAOWAI PAO BU'

Scandinavian:

10. Learn to count to 10

 

I have missed out. Didn't do 8, and 5 wasn't awful at all. .... visits since well, some might fall into the awful category.

8. is a spectator sport ^^ I once told a guy that he was being scammed, but he was so sure that the two girls were genuinely charmed by him that he just stayed in his delusion.

This question is probably too general, China is huge and everywhere is different. I would say that going to Shaxi Valley in Northern Yunnan is one of the best things I've done in China. Otherwise, in terms of generally living here I like the board games cafes, eating hot pot and barbeque, learning to cook Chinese food, outdoor ice skating in winter, shopping in markets, ridiculous cute stationery.

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 student visa to labourer one 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
