Q: What's the craziest thing you've ever brought back to China?

The last time I went back home, I packed one of my two pieces of luggage with a 23 inch computer monitor and five bottles of locally produced wine. I also brought a pair of bookshelf speakers (45 lb) as my non-backpack carry-on. At first, the woman at the security check was very confused at what the giant, heavy box was, but eventually let me through. Miraculously nothing broke!

Every time I have gone back to my home country, I have only bought my clothes.  I always end up bringing stuff to China rather than the other way around.

I brought some English Breakfast tea (bags) back to China from UK. So yes I took tea to China!

 

I like Chinese teas but every now and then I want some 'English' tea (even though it isn't made in England), the next difficulty is getting milk that doesn't spoil the taste.

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
