Q: Best activity to relax a bit?

I've been here for a few weeks and it's crazy how everything is fast-paced here in Beijing! Everybody's rushing, they never stop! I wondered... what do Chinese people do to relax, usually? Is there a nice, calm and quiet park just to recharge the batteries?

Chengdu is now on my list, thanks Nickwatson!

And Njord, if I get a Chinese boyfriend, do you think he'll be inclined to go do the groceries while i go to the local rub'n tug? Is there any massage parlor filled with tall muscular men, for... relaxation purposes? Wink

Maybe come to Shanghai, then after u go back to Beijing, u will find Beijing is nice and slow.
Like what one of my friends is doing now, she is in India, and she told me before she left, "I need to fall in love with China again, so I have to go there and after I come back I will feel refreshed." Wink

That's getting complicated. Chinese people overthink way too much! I wonder if there's an opening in Shanghai... But i'm not sure i'm interested by the type of guy/man-slave you described! Wink

Whenever I go outside, it's always very loud and crowdy. It's near impossible to relax outdoor in Beijing! So i bought some traditionnal Chinese Zen music CDs, i made a small Chinese Zen garden in my place with bamboo sticks and a panda doll. I turn on the volume and meditate. It would be perfect if it weren't for my loud neighbours! I miss the lake back home in Montana, 'Merica...

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
