Q: Where to find Christmas cards in and around Beijing?

A friend suggested Wangfujing Street, but it is a large place to wander around alone with only a very basic knowledge of Chinese. When I say basic I mean I know how to say hello and thank you. Learning more but slowly progressing. Any suggestions?

The Friendship Store (3rd Ring Road) - but don't expect totally comprehensible messages, the cards are Harrmalk English if you get my drift.

there is the Foreign Language shop on Wangfujing Street. Although there may not be Christmas cards, there is a good selection to chose from.

Sinobear:

May not have cards but a good selection of...none? Have you been drinking from Matty's cup?

I think I saw Xmas cards in April Gourmets, and the big Jenny Lou's near the embassies, but I can't be sure. I do remember seeing cards though!

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef
A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
