Asked to send original documents including passport to China by Milkopilko
I've been accepted for a job and I've done the whole documents gathering, notarizing, taking them to the consulate and sending them to the school's visa officer electronically. It felt like I was done and that they were applying for my ...
Please do not do what they asked you to do. If you have your visa, then fly to China and go straight to the employer. Never hand over your passport to anyone except to the Police when applying for the Police registration for foreigners living in ... Read More
Air Tickets by Celeste Angelique
Good Day, Does anyone have any advice on air ticket purchasing? If traveler is very uncertain of their traveling dates and the time that they will spend in China - should they purchase a one way air ticket rather? Or is a return ticket better ...
Round trip flight ticket is better as it is cheaper compared to one way flight ticket. Furthermore, airlines require roundtrip tickets if travelling on a tourist visa. If unsure of your stay, simply rebook and pay the extra cost of rebooking. Read More

IVF in Guangzhou by kk2257
Can anyone recommend any IVF clinics in Guangzhou?
I can recommend one clinic but not in GZ. It is in Manila, Philippines. They won't accept you as a client unless you have a potential of success. They won't waste your finances if you are not qualified for IVF. Read More
Money Transfer Via Western Union by mommycarrie
Has anyone tried money transfer via Westen Union? I have done it before in the US but apparently there are different procedures here in China. I spent the whole morning at a bank today and ended up not sending anything because the teller I was ...
Try asking a local Chinese friend to accompany you to the bank or Western union and let them do the translation. Things have gotten so difficult sending money out of China as the banks are asking for work certification to prove your source of ... Read More

You can try the Chinese embassy in Bangkok. Chiang Mai has a Chinese consulate so better try the embassy. Be sure to apply early morning as the long line of applicants is really frustrating. And bring everyt possible documents they might need. Read More

There are no discounts for Apple Products at any Apple Stores. If they do offer discounts, I suggest you verify the status of that store. You probably will get a fake Apple Product from Stores and shops offering discounts. The only discounts I know ... Read More

Yup, go to HK and buy from Apple Store at IFC Mall or Apple Store at Causeway Way. Those Apple Stores can guarantee you genuine Apple Products. I went there last month and was informed there are fake apple products now on sale in HK but not at a ... Read More
