Yeah! Go to any foreign store (Metro - German; Carrefour - French etc) or check out Jenny Lou's - you can get ANYTHING foreign there (see link below), but expect to pay very high prices.

I was in Watson's the other day and pleasantly surprised at their vastly expanded selection of imported deodorants. I went to the one by the Lido Hotel and they stocked at least 15-20 different deodorants, including sprays and roll-ons, for both men and women, and they cost between 20-30 rmb. A few years ago, you would have been lucky to find even one type of deo in a shop here. So next time you see a Watson's, make sure to check it out. They also stock other imported goods like cosmetics, toiletries and even chocolate.

Jenny Lou's is your best bet sometimes a little expencive but good stuff especially chese

Carrfour sucks and who wants to support a store owned by the French Metro is a great store I would say after Jenny Lou's

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef
A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
