Q: Your worst motorbike taxi experience?

Last night, on my drunk trip home on a motorbike, he cut up the inside of a turning artic.. I could feel the heat of the arctics brakes on my ruddy cheeks. Never again I said to myself.

But tonight.. sigh. Will I survive?

Whats your best or worst motorbike taxi experience?

The driver agreed to take me to (big brand supermarket). I knew that the total ride should take about 10 minutes. After about 8 minutes or so the driver stopped and told me he wouldn't take me any further because it was too far and demanded I pay more money. I told him to take me to my destination as he agreed. After arguing back and forth, I started to walk away without paying. He took his bike lock and came after me getting ready to hit me over the head. I disarmed him and took him by the cuff and ended up ripping his paper quality shirt. I gave him ten rambos for his shirt.

I usually avoid motorbike taxis like the plague, they just seem like accidents waiting to happen to me and I know from bitter experience there's nothing worse than coming off a bike.

 

I do remember being on the back of one drunk somewhere... think it was Vietnam, the traffic was so heavy that we were almost rubbing knees with the scooters next to us and I wasn't happy at all about the safety of that. I remember thinking Feck it, he does this every day and presumably is fine 99% of the time so the odds are on my side, just don't think about it and enjoy the ride.

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
