Q: Have any of you ever seen whole artichokes for sale anywhere in China?

I've only ever seen the marinated kind in jars, never whole, fresh ones.

Yes. In specialty supermarkets and grocery stores. City Life in Shanghai, for example. And each "choke" costs an arm and a leg. Man, I sure miss inexpensive, fresh artichokes!

Yes, the local open air market has them and I have seen them in Carre Four a couple of times, it is not part of their regular assortment.

Answer of the DayMORE >>

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before

A:Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China, it would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after arrival to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
