Q: will you have an Christmas Tree in China ?

Another week and we will get our plastic Tree from the ceiling space and set it up in the lounge room so everyone has to walk around it for the next 6 weeks .
How about you guys in China ?, will you get a live plant and decorate it .
For that matter , how will you decorate it?

I have been having Christmas trees and decoration and a big feast on the eve with my long time laowai friends in China for the past 10 years and I will keep doing so, the spirit of Christmas is very alive in my home every year for a month or so, I'm not willing to throw my culture away just yet.

Yup, going to have a big one! Right in the window!

 

I don't care if all the people around me don't get it or understand. 

Stiggs:

Check out your neighbor's windows, you'll probably see a lot of trees set up. It seems to have become a big thing in recent years.

Yes I would, it's my tradition so why not?? The Chinese are big on tradition so they should understand.

Hadn't really crossed my mind until I started following this thread.  Now all of a sudden I have a strong desire (nostalgia) to set one up.  Jeez,,, one of the fondest memories of my Life is listening to Christmas music and daydreaming about life and things whilst lying down beside the Christmas Tree which my dad would set-up in the family room in my boyhood home,,   we had a real American middle-class style house, in a subdivision filled with such homes, complete with a wood-burning brick fireplace that the Christmas Tree stood next to. This Christmas scene would probably look like something out of Harper's Daily magazine today.

yep, I'm not ready to give up my culture either.

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
