It must be connected to spitting, I guess!?

 

There is not much edible stuff inside sunflower seeds, but when I ask Chinese why such a passion toward seeds, they all reply: 'I don't know! It is very tasty!'

My gf eats them everyday.  But she doesn't spit...she cracks them with her teeth and takes out the seed to eat it...I do the same thing now.

It's a great way to forget about smoking while watching TV or a movie...at least for me.

I am happy when she eats seeds because it means she is not gnawing on chicken feet or goose heads.

They must like the challenge, like eating chicken feet. I need more substance when I eat. I'll take cashews, just not Chinese cashews.

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
