You should pay a visit to the cobbler Lao Yu on Gulou Dong Dajie. In my opinion, he's the city's master in brogue-making. Although getting a pair made doesn't come cheap (approx. 800-1400 RMB a pair), he really does make high-quality, stunning, vintage-style brogues. In fact, you can go there with a picture of your dream brogues and he'll make the exact replica for you. All you have to do is choose the leather and come in for fittings. He usually gets a pair made within about 3 weeks and he asks for half of the money upfront and the rest upong collection.

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 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
