Forums > Study > research in China So today I finally got an answer from my german supervisor ... and I am really disappointed. I told him everything I tried and that I really could need some help (mostly I said I don´t know how to handle the visa and told him that it is easier to talk to official offices and schools face to face, but that I already contacted my friends and they contacted the schools and so on). So what to say, I had the hope that he will offer me some help. But he only wrote that I have do find a different way, because I can´t find the contact to the schools and local offices (that isn´t even the biggest problem). He sent me his shanghai university contact and now wants me to go to shanghai. Like this is a huge difference, pu'er as a "small" city and then shanghai .. Most people would say this is also great, great opportunities and so on. But I am disappointed, I am not that interested in Shanghai.
Forums > Study > research in China They are not paying for this, I have to pay for everything. That is, why I would wish I could do it with the help of a chinese university, because then I could apply for a german scholarship. But for this I need a supporting institution in germany as well as an in China, so that it is official.
Forums > Study > research in China less talk, more action - I plan to start my fieldwork in october. So yes, right now it´s more talking than action. This project means a lot to me, so sorry if we don´t have the same opionion, but I prefer more talking to figure out any option I have and this, of course, needs talking to other. :)
Forums > Study > research in China Yes I know, I already saved a lot of money and I make money. But I can´t spend all the money I have on it, so of course I need to figure out how to handle it. :)
Forums > Study > research in China this would be probably my last option, because going to hong kong also needs a lot of money. I need to plan it, but as I also have to live anywhere and pay for my daily life, I don´t know if I have the money for extra flights (I also want to go to a lot of places in Yunnan if I have the time - combining research with life).
So right now I have to wait for my professors answer, my friends answer if there are language schools in pu'er (couldn´t find a single one online, maybe not the best sign). And if there is really no other option - I need to consider the 90 days visa
