Q: What kind of tea do you drink?

Coffee is still way too expensive, just like how the CCTV says. I'm drinking jasmine now, but I'll be interested in any suggestions. What is this tie kuan yum?

None, my secret stash of Tetley Tea was destroyed by Gfs new dog, she was afraid to tell me, so I didn't bring any. I'm drinking crap instant coffee with Baileys, lots and lots of Baileys. I bought some Chinese teas, funny for a land that should be known for tea, I don't like them.

TedDBayer:

It's odd that the GF hasn't learned that I have a sense of humour yet.

Irish tea but without the tea indecision and a f**king lot of it

mArtiAn:

  I had an Irish coffee in Liuzhou once. They put whipped cream and a cherry tomato on the top. I just sat there and stared at it.

A friend of mine recently gave me some chrysanthemum tea (菊花) from his home province, Hunan, and it was really good. I also really like Pu'er (普洱). I also drink a lot of Rooibos tea from South Africa but you can't get that here.

Green or Pu'er mostly. Whatever is in the kitchen closet, as long as I can have it without stuff floating around in the cup.

I drink a couple of cups of Tulsi tea from India.  It calms me down and gives me a bit of energy without the caffeine.  Sometimes I enjoy a cup of red rooibos tea from Africa that is a non-diuretic with a great earthy smell.  It also has no caffeine.

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
