Q: Favourite acts of Chinese Christmas randomness

My favourites so far are the enormous green 'christmas' unicorn put up in Dongzhimen last year, the fancily packaged apples i get from Chinese friends 'because it's tradition' and people going shopping on christmas day because there are huge discounts.

its just a day of shopping or making money to them. Mainlanders do not understand the true spirit of Christmas. To understand one must have empathy and a spirit giving and unselfishness....most are not capable.

In Tianjin it is a tradition to go to the old cathedral with an apple and just stand outside in a great horde for no particular reason on Christmas eve night. Thus blocking anyone who wished to actually attend mass. I find it funny and weird but hey that is what Christmas is about apples, right?

Remind me why are people buying and offering overpriced regular apples for Christmas?

Better buy one at the local fruit shop for 5 mao than those Christmas apples sold in the street (that probably come from that shop anyway) for 3 kuai each.

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
