Q: How do you cope with pollution?

Facemasks, air filters etc, I get that, but how do you cope with the pollution in terms of mood and mental health. It just makes me feel so down, waking up with this smog...

I stopped running outdoor. I went in a gym, run on a treadmill. It's not quite the same as running outside, but I get to play with the other machines. Running with a facemask did not work for me, not enough air and the fabric of the mask is irritating when sweating.

For the moral. Hum... About to buy my one-way ticket home, which makes those things bearable.

I have started dying at a less slow speed than I would have otherwise.

I moved to Xinjiang. My small city is quite lovely, and not just by Chinese standards.

But not Urumqi. Definitely not Urumqi.

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
