Q: Do China and G.B. have the same social 'ceremonies' surrounding tea?

Granted the teas are different (cream, sugar, etc...) but the actual 'ceremony' of when to drink tea vis a vis meals, with who, for social occasions, etc... how much of it is similar?

If you go to dinner in the UK you're going to get a dessert and tea menu after the meal, in China you're going to get served a cup of tea before you eat or have even ordered.

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
