Q: What kind of light bulbs does your apartment in China have?

When we moved in, all lamps where equipped with very cold energy saving light bulbs. Kudos to it being energy saving (old school bulbs still available at the time) but man the light it unbearable. As luck would have it, the light bulbs fail pretty frequently, so now we have a more cosy warm lighting. (I am too environmentally concerned (or cheap) to throw away a working bulb)

When I walk at night in the hood, all but a few apartments are lit with cold cold light. Why ?

When we renovated our place we bought a ton of very good philips energy savers. One year on and not one of them has gone.

Scandinavian:

it's mainly the Chinese brands that fail all the time

  We don't have any, we just have a seven foot lava lamp we all cuddle around in the evening when we're listening to the radio.

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
