Q: Do you usually cook or eat out while you are in China?

A lot of foreigners do not cook much and usually just eat out in Shanghai. Heard they say food is cheap here and they don't want to cook.
Most Chinese cook as much as they can to save every rmb they can.
How about you?

if someone likes chinese food then eat out as its cheaper. but if thats not the case, the cooking is the way to go as no one here have an authentic western meal for a reasonable price.

Thats why I cook. tastier, healthier and fun

I love cooking, I cook most of the time, I have a fully furnished kitchen with oven, microwave, toaster, all sorts of kitchenware, etc... heck I even have a takoyaki machine in there, tons and tons of ingredients in the freezer or on the shelves, good food is the best thing in the world, and since I live on the top floor I have access to a small rooftop terrace, so that means BBQ party when the weather is nice and friends are off work.

The more I see the oily bottoms of bowls in restaurants, the more I cook myself.  A bit more expensive, but at least there is more meat in my food and I am sure where it comes from.

honestly, i ve never met a chinese guy who can cook. That being said that if you are a tourist, then yeah, you eat outside but as an expat, considering the hygienic standards outside, more than a sandwitch I wont dare to eat

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
