Q: Why do Chinese love group tours when they go on vacation? Afraid to go alone?

I live in Shenzhen and went one hour up north to see a city north in Guangdong. I went with a couple of Chinese friends who decided to go for the package deal thing by going on a bus with other people...

It was such a hassle waiting for everyone...I understand it might make it simpler for the lazy people not wishing to plan things, but I've noticed Chinese people go on vacation almost solely through these tour things...

It's not always the case, dreaded walking walrus kiddo. The Chinese family that settled in my small town of Montana, 'Merica, first came visiting by themselves, without taking any tours. I remember before they decided to stay and open a traditional Chinese restaurant, they asked me for direction.

It's just you see those that aren't on those tourist buses, it's because you're probably too short to see above the knee caps and don't notice those on foot!

Q: Can a Z visa holder do graduate studies in China while working?

A: Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside

A:Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
