China

I know it means "salted fish turns over" but what does it refer to specifically? Can anyone explain when/how this chengyu is used? Is it like....when something unexpected happens? or does it refer to something that was previously unimaginable?? Thanks in advance for your help :)

I am going to Hangzhou, China to teach English this summer but the school there says that I must pass the physical exam that the government authorizes. I'm not sure what the requirements are to pass the physical exam, do you know? I am visually mpaired, my vision in both eyes is 20/200 corrected with glasses. One of the main reasons I want to go to China is because there is better transportation in China then the United States where everyone has to drive a car. Where can I find that material on the physical exam requirements and would I pass the physical exam to teach? Please let me know what you find.

Because I'm really, really, really thinking I'd like to go. I've been to France and Jamaica, but never China, and am not exactly a seasoned world traveler. However, I love pandas, and this looks like volunteering in panda heaven.

Have you been there? Better yet, have you done anything like this? What should I think about before writing that big check and booking the time off?

I was born in Hong Kong but immigrated with my family to USA when I was a child. I heard that I can obtain a Hong Kong ID that would allow me to travel through out mainland China without the need for an entry visa, which I do need using a US passport. Does anyone know how this process work? I am planning to visit Hong Kong in July and would like to arrange for obtaining the ID. Thanks.

I know it is expensive to live in Hong Kong, but besides the cost of housing, is everything else cheap (food, shopping, etc..)??

Well, my question says it all. I have heard conflicting stories about how Hong Kong has a lower salary or that in Canada, the taxes are very high. I know it is true but what's the actual truth?

I'm talking about the NATION, then what kind of person would China be?

First, male or female (and why)?
Then, personality traits (good and bad, if you can think of both)?
Any other attributes?

You can dress him/her, too if you want! I think this should be fun and interesting...

There is this arguement in below YA, an asker said that the moves of American teachers in China were closely monitored by the Schools or Chinese government / secret agents, and camaras were installed at the entrances of your accomodation / buildings, ...etc... below is the link... is that the real fact?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuHtflPHBfP7m9s7wYQqSeXty6IX?qid=20070510154046AAwB1tH&show=7#profile-info-418d2e9812dceb72c6c1d038184e789baa

Please let me know whether you guys are in the situation of what the asker said in his question. If so, tell me why you are still staying in China? (Though I do not believe Chinese govenment would waste energy / time / money on monitoring the moves of foreign English teachers!)

i've ben here for nearly 3 months living in a residential address, and they said they needed it for some kind of registration..i wasn't happy giving it to them, but they said it would keep me out of jail!..the thing is, they wont give it back to me for a week..by that time my three month visa will expire, and i was just wondering if that will cause any problems when travelling to Hong Kong to fly home? ie, crossing the border?..incidently, i will have to alter my flight home because of this..at a cost of $100 US, and my travel insurance will expire as well..i said i was leaving in 2 days time, but that made no difference...is all this normal for tourists, this registration thing when staying at a residential apartment in China?
Any comments would be much appreciated..just mainly worried about the Visa thing...funny how they noticed me, out of 12 million others in this city!
