Q: Can you hear the birds?

I can hear them. Everything stops tonight. And we can hear nature again. I can hear the birds singing. But the Chinese can't. Can you hear the birds?

Yeah, I heard the birds the other afternoon. Yesterday afternoon/night not so much. (unless some birds go BANG)

I find Chinese people don't appreciate nature as much as e.g. I do. Nature is something to be combated not enjoyed. I have yet to be "in nature" in China where the isn't a paved/concrete path and streetlights. I know I can find that further out in the sticks but why not also near the bigger cities ?

Industry stops. traffic stops. I open my windows and hear nature. Love it.

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
