Guide to applying for a Z-visa
Found this guide to applying for a Z-visa, the pre-runner to a ‘residents permit’ in China.
Most employers help with the process which requires specific documents from both the employer and employee.
This guide is written by the US Embassy. It broadly covers most foreigners applying for a Z-visa, except
- In the cost of the Visa.
- Submission addresses and details.
- Non-western Europe, America’s have different visa arrangements/requirements.
Everything else is the same. It’s a valuable read for anyone planning to visit China working for the first time

Male vs Female
Irish guy has taken it upon himself to make a stand.
In this case, it’s in the name of the male of the species, beneath the Eros statue in Piccadilly Circus, at 9pm on a Saturday night.
His stand is against the female of the species, who he stands and harasses for approximately 2 minutes before he receives a shock from onlooker female, who may the girl’s friend.
Female vs Male
Back in China: This Chinese girl is on the Shanghai metro, being tailed by other Chinese girls, who you can hear giggling at her actions towards the male passengers on the train.
Word is, she split up with her boyfriend, who has lama genes.
Now she’s missing him and has taken it to the men on the metro, looking for another lama-type to hook up with.
This is the best way she knows.
The Chinese love a good spit anyhow, this one has just found an excuse, in her eyes. I’m not sure about the other passengers on the train…
These Chinese…
Chinese Oscar time.
No need to roll out the red carpet, these aren’t the best actors, but they do try.
If anyone has ever tried smashing a windscreen with parts of their body, they’ll know how hard it is…
The race is on…
To create the strongest possible Marijuana strains….
Now a legal substance in the US and Portugal; governments, agencies, police and policy makers are taking an increasingly lenient view on ‘the herb‘.

When I once went to Amsterdam, I had some ‘White Widow’, at that time considered to be one of the strongest strains of Marijuana.
Things have changed.
The market is legal, but unregulated… in terms of strength… one strain of Marijuana is the same as another.
As anyone who has smoked the stuff knows, this is not the case.
Similar to alcohol, a methods of production determine the strength of the finished product.
This is article on the strength of Marijuana shows how it’s increased.
