I was told to try the Foreign Bookstore in Wangfujing, but to be honest the selection AND the store itself were terrible. Even when I tried to speak the the manager for the FOREIGN book store, she did not speak ANY foreign language (well, at least nether English nor Spanish).

There's the French library in gongti xi lu, and the Spanish one close to it, but I'm not sure wether they have products other than their respective language.

As GuilinRaf said, there's also Wangfujin's bookstore.

Some restaurants in the Sanlitun area often have foreign magazines and newspapers, too.

unfortunately, the Wangfujing one is not very good.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before

A:Your potential employer is right! Demand for 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
