I have just started a job here in Beijing (company to company contract) working with a big educational organization (you can probably guess but I don't want to say specifically which one). My request may sound weird (like maybe I just want to meet young girls), but right now, Beijing is so strict with almost everything. I cannot even visit campuses for walks or to buy souvenirs without actually knowing students who go there. I had a chat with a guard at QingHua University and he basically said that a student would have to personally apply for my visit to the campus through their system as I d ..read more

Second off, I have yet to be interviewed for my language skill and am wondering what that process ..read more
