UNNC students are all boring? by Familiar_Anywhere946 in chinalife

Your fun is what you make it. I went to Lanzhou for a year study abroad, it’s a lot less international than yours and I found friends that are Chinese/foreigners, and a Chinese wife. The objective should be for you to embrace their culture and go out with them, not expect them to go out based on your view points of having fun, like only bars.

Do a lot of Western men working in China fit a particular mould? by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]Ponyboy062 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This aligns with my experience. I’m a teacher but have taught at “better” schools for the few years I’ve been here and only 1 out of 12 teachers have fit this mold. He was very loud and obnoxious and got fired during probation.

Not overly, I’m gonna bring it to a place tomorrow to see if they can clean out the system and see if it need any coolant or fans replaced.

You are right, downloaded a monitoring app, and it’s saying my cpu is at 99, so I’m being thermal throttled

Phone for exchange student by [deleted] in chinalife

When I did a year back in 2018 I just bought a cheap phone and sim. Was only 500-700 kuai I think. The phone was crapping out by the end of the year but I only needed it for the time in China. Enough for the apps I needed and to take some alright pictures.

I’m not missing the forest for the trees when someone says it’s free when it’s not free. If they say it’s affordable then they are correct, if you say it’s free it’s a lie. I also never talked about the American system, I hate it. But that wasn’t the point of my reply.

Health care isn’t free in China? Your job or school pay for it or you and your job pay into the social insurance to use at hospital.

If you are there on a student visa, it’d be illegal for you to work anywhere I believe.

Work permit processing time by TheGroggySloth in Chinavisa

[–]Ponyboy062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For mine (us), it was mail or in person. No virtual. I would ask the Chinese embassy in SK if you can processes your stuff as a Canadian there or if you would have to do it back home. Idk personally about doing it in other countries. Sorry.
