Q: Every Day in China Yahoo works fine for me. Today it doesn't. Why?

Oh, I imagine it's cause yahoo has a story about Hu Jintao no longer being considered the most powerful man in the world. GOd this country is pathetic and petty and childish.

Whenever I connect to the internet these days, my VPN always gets turned on before my browser is opened.  So for me the only problem is the very slow internet speeds here.

I have found that Yahoo can become problematic in China at certain very distinct periods :  it can become problematic around the National Day Holidays; it can become problematic around the Spring Festival Holidays and it can become problematic again during Golden Week -- inaccessible, slow, etc., etc.

I ended up opening an email with 126.com just to keep in touch.

As for google, that's a whole other issue...and quite a problematic one at that.

It probably has something to do with certain people of a certain religion who douse themselves with certain flammable liquids. Apparently certain ruling party has been cracking down hard.

Forward Question

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
