Q: Where to find Christmas cards in and around Beijing?

A friend suggested Wangfujing Street, but it is a large place to wander around alone with only a very basic knowledge of Chinese. When I say basic I mean I know how to say hello and thank you. Learning more but slowly progressing. Any suggestions?

The Friendship Store (3rd Ring Road) - but don't expect totally comprehensible messages, the cards are Harrmalk English if you get my drift.

there is the Foreign Language shop on Wangfujing Street. Although there may not be Christmas cards, there is a good selection to chose from.

Sinobear:

May not have cards but a good selection of...none? Have you been drinking from Matty's cup?

I think I saw Xmas cards in April Gourmets, and the big Jenny Lou's near the embassies, but I can't be sure. I do remember seeing cards though!

A:Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law.  Problem is, most Chinese managers and recruiters don't know, they can obtain Working permit for a non-native English teacher with BA completed in a native English country. I'd suggest, you mention possibility of legal employment for non-native English teacher with degree completed in a native English country at the first interview. It's a tough time in China at your example, IMO.  Most recruiters and hiring managers in China know only "ET must hold a native English passport ..", so your job application get dismissed right there. The other thing is, never stop sending your CV to the job offers doesn't matter if no replies. At my time in China (pre-2017), I'd send CVs to every offer posted daily.I've even disregarded advert's requirement 'native English passport holder', and ... I got a reply or two in a month time. Take the last paragraph as a rule! Good luck!   -- icnif77
