Q: Why are there water trucks driving around blowing water into the air?

Are they trying to blast the pollution out of the air? Give passerbys a 5 second shower? Water the trees on the road? They only seem to be around in the summer in Guangdong.

How is the dust and air quality in your city? Could be to settle the dust and pollution.

hi2u:

In Shenzhen. The pollution is usually worse in the winter when there are no water trucks blasting water into the air.

Water blasted up into the trees . . . not watering the shrubs on the ground or keeping down the dust on the streets?  Think insecticides.

hi2u:

No, the trucks just blast the water vertically up as they're driving down the street. The water is not directed into the trees at all.

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
