Just go to April Gourmet. The prices are usually on par with places like carrefour.

For most imported foods, Jenny Lou's (or Jenny Wang's as it seems to be called nowadays) is much cheaper than April Gourmet. For example, Post Pecan Nut cereal costs 32 rmb in Jenny Lou's while it costs 39 rmb in April Gourmet. I've been comparing their prices a lot and noticed that almost everything is 1-10 rmb more expensive at April's.

However, April's sale shelf sometimes has some good bargains. I picked up a brie and organic cheddar a while back for only 12 rmb and they recently sold an organic jiuce which was marked down from a staggering 80 rmb to 18 rmb. It's definitely worth it to keep your eyes on the bargain section, but go to Jenny's for non-sale items.

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
