Q: Do you do that effeminate little wrist wave to hail a cab?

Dumb question, I know, but I'm bored. For the record I do the wave, though sometimes I embarrass the wife by calling out "Coo-wee!" as I do it.

No, I do it falsetto with one leg off the floor like a 50s housewife. She swears one more time and she'll file for divorce.

No, I can't say that I have developed that habit. There again, I very infrequently use taxis and, when I do, it is usually from the taxi rank where they wait in line.

(raise both eyebrows and head)

Shining_brow:

So, you said 'phone answer'...  did you, or did you not, include the "ay bro" with it?

Yes, I always do that girly move. I even walk to the taxi with short, girly steps and all happiness....

In Anshan, none would gave me a ride at night in freezing weather mastards, so now I always comply  .

 

But then, I rarely use cabs.

what about village bikes?

I'm semi-pro bike rider, so I can't ride clumsy-es.

My bike weight is only 7kg, 'Ti, Al frame'. It's more 'sailing boat' than 'push-hard-wheels'.

I can't see it, but that's acrobatic most likely.

I'm more peaceful. No helmet, silence with bike gear clicks only, and 'sailing'...

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
