Q: Shipping framed pictures back home?

I want to ship some framed paintings and pictures back home (about 50x60cm) and have really no clue which company might do this best without destroying everything. It cost me quite a bit to do this here, and would literally cost me a fortune to do it back home.

anyone have any good recommendations?

If I were you, I would try hard to locate a freight forwarder in or near the city where you are at, and go and see him / her and ask for their advise in shipping those back home. I would take a photo, dimensions and weigth of each one to them, so they can give you a quote for crating them and also the shipping and documentation part.

By Law in China you can not take out any real old painting, ceramic vase or artifact in general that could be consider a national patrimony, the freight forwarder should know how to clear that step to insure delivery later on.

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
