Perhaps my MIL's logic will shed some light on this:

Cook food fresh.

Put left-over food in the fridge as to not waste food.

Refuse to eat left-over food because it's not fresh.

Throw it away.

Never any use for storage containers, especially when most food in take-out.

Rare purchases = high price (just like deodorant!)

I would theorize that it is the cost of making them from plastic. It is only a theory. But, most plastic goods cost more than other things made from other materials.

andy74rc:

Right. Now you have to explain why similar products made of similar material, and made in China, are cheaper in the West than in their country of origin.

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
