Q: Anyone know any sites for buying/exchanging new or used books?

This is one of the things I hate about living here, it's so hard to get hold of good books. I had an idea for a website where ex-pats could sell or exchange their old books, but like most of my ideas it went the way of the dodo. I really do love a good read though. I'd love to be able to browse a good book store for a change, and not find myself stuck with having to choose between Robinson Crusoe and Sherlock Holmes. Know any sites stocked with up to date shelves?

Go to thebeijinger website they got ads up now for buying or trading books. Sometimes you will even have a few users who are willing to give away their books for free.

Q: Can a Z visa holder do graduate studies in China while working?

A: Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside

A:Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
