Q: What's the deal with all the closed kitchens here?

Do Chinese people just not like open kitchens? Every apartment's kitchen seems to be separate room, makes cooking and entertaining at the same time a pain.

It is that way (since there is no hood exhaust) so fumes, smoke, smells from cooking, and grease do not spread all over the apartment.  Remember here in China, rooms or apartments are rather small.

smoke is a big issue i guess. but actually i know people who have that kitchen style even back home... some way to keep the smell out of your house, i like it actually.

Try seasoning a wok in an open kitchen without setting off the fire alarms and making your whole house reek. Tongue

As long as the kitchen is not close to the bathroom.  The thing is with the closed kitchen it has to deal with the smoke yes. Also, I agree some apartments are small. Our kitchen has a sliding door  that prevents you from hearing loud noises such as when we are watching a t.v. show in the living room.

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
