Q: Why are so many English people that I meet angry at their life in China? EDITED.

EDITED to change british to english, apologies to all scots and welsh. i wrongly use the term britain and endland interchangeably

I am in no way taring all english with the same brush. if im on the subway, always english complaining about how much they dislike china and chinese culture and chinese people while they stand right next to them. in a bar, always english complaining about the same things. at work, always the same. 

perhaps i meet them on off days, but they must never have any good ones. what is it about china that drives them mad? england is no rose garden either, it took me over a month to get a tax number in london, a month, for a tax number, bad weather, bad food, bad service and yet foreigners in england dont complain about english people as much as english complain about everyone else.

 

so i pose the question: is it really china or just english people, i think its english people.

Complaining is a British pastime. We learn it from our parents.

Thats why we have one of the best democratic systems in the world Smile

Vaya una discusión estupida... Si alguien no está comodo en China no tiene por qué permanecer en un país que no le ha llamado. Todo se resume a esto.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
