Q: Is Budweiser different in China than the US?

Budweiser, your typical piss water beer in the US floats around a generous 5% but I believe in China it's somewhere around 3.2%. I'm not sure, so can anyone confirm this for me? Is this the case for other foreign beers that they brew locally here?

Oh yeah, I'm not even much of a drinker and even I REALLY notice the difference. Even given that 5% is pretty generous for US beer Sad

I think USA Bud tastes like water, Cdn Bud and China Bud taste different, neither of which I like. There was no Corona in China when I stopped by.

The local beer is good and very cheap. Why would you need to drink Bud. The biggest problem is finding cold beer at times.

Tastes different, to suit the consumer. Doesn't matter what country you go to though, Bud will always be urine.

Ever taste qingdao beer abroad? It's over 5%! Different.

The Bud "ICE" made here is an OK beer, compared to the local low % beers. It is less than the 5% in the US coming in at 4.8% alcohol, but the taste is much better than the horse piss that Bud brews back in the states.

Budweiser is a poor beer no mater where it's made. No flavor...

Chrimo, there used to be Sam Adams in Shanghai, but I drank it all. Sorry about that. It should be back in October though according to the distributor. I already have reserved like 5 cases, because when it's here it goes FAST.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
