Aquired – New Z-visa

As promised, the agency have provided me with a fresh visa.

This time, it’s a z-visa…

The visa itself is only valid for 1 month and one entry. However, I can present these visa to the local government officials at the locality I’m staying in, and they will provide me with a Residents Permit.

Residents permit

A Chinese residents permit allows:

  • Multiple entries.
  • Residence for 12 months.

I have something known as Foreigner Residence Permit application. Other residence application permits include Permanent and Temporary Residence permit which last for 10 years and 6-12 months respectively.

Fishing in Luijiang River


Couple reap the benefits of nice Chinese river….

They’re fishing for winkles. There are many waterways in and around Kunshan. I guess the people still like the traditional foods.

Personally, I’m a little skeptical about goods emanating from this fine waterway. Especially bottom feeders like the old winkle. I’m aware of what goes into this river. The odd pig, and whatnot. Maybe a chicken or two. I think I even saw a poo floating in there the other day…

Maybe I should let these people know.

What do you think?

FAF electronics – Kunshan

Farmfull electronics Kunshan
Making electronics ?

Usual rent-a-laowai activity. Consisting of white skins and smiley, white faces. Our boss invited us to take part in the outing to Farmfull electronics.

Wasted a lunchtime and we won’t get paid for it.

They wanted to take pictures of us with their semi-conductor components.

It was all very staged and false. But they seemed happy.
