Q: What do girls do here as a hobby?

What do girls here do as a hobby? It seems that all my gf wants to do in the evenings is watch those lame dramas. I cant really understand them, but Im sure as I rarely watch TV in my home country, I would also despise these programs too.

Any suggestions on what your friends or girlfirends do as hobbies?

Well, besides watching those same TV soup operas which I also despise, her favorite past time is to go up either shopping or to eat.  She always "crave" for some special food she wishes to have, or always seem to need something else to buy.  Even if window shopping, training or not, cold or warm, she does love to go out.

When we moved to our new place we didn't bother to get the "cable hooked up". My wife is more than content with her beloved iPad 2. She sleeps with it and carries it with her everywhere. At this rate we'll never have a baby.

QQ, WeChat, Qzone, TV dramas, bitching at you constantly, complaining constantly, killing babies since they had no idea what birth control was or they "have disease (我的意思是,她们有病 - yes, they HAVE BING in the HEAD)," going psycho, making your life a living hell, constantly reminding you of the fact that you're not perfect, making you wish you were dead, playing mind games, watching your every move, complain that you talk to female acquaintances, being mad at you all day because you had sex with a different woman in her dream... oh, and mahjong.

 

I'm not bitter.

Scandinavian:

at least you're straight in her dreams, I mean, think about how much "loud one directional talking" there'd be had you been sodomizing a Donkey.

@Hulk. No she didn't have that dream. I don't think she has much doubts about my preferences.

I really don't see many people here with hobbies. The only things I have seen the ladies doing is cross-stitch pictures or mahjong. Outside of that TV, shopping etcetera are just ways to fill up a boring life. I did see one guy once with a real radio controlled aircraft, I don't mean these helicopters you buy but something more like the real hobbyists have back home.

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
