If you are just starting out, buy something basic and cheap. Because you will crash a few times and many basic beginner models are designed to come apart on impact. Some models almost glide by themselves, and so are easy to control for the novice. You don't have to have a petrol engine. I believe the 'Park Flyer' class of models is popular. These have electric motors.
The common pitfall is to buy something above your current skill level. And this only leads to frustration and disappointment and lots of crashes, and bigger bills.
Your start up costs should be low, but don't forget about the radio. If your plane does not have 6 channels, you don't need to fork out for the more expensive 6+ channel radio sets. I think a basic 4 Channel FM transmitter/receiver set will cost about 1200 rmb. You need to add this to the price of the model plane. But your radio will last you for life.
Not sure how much planes are, have a look on taobao.com
Wrong.
You need a full time job with a company that is willing to sponsor you for the working visa.
If you are going to do this, you will find it easier if you get the job before you arrive in China, as you may be required to leave China again to secure your 'Z' work visa.
Not legal, but also done is to get a company who will sponsor you for an 'F' business visa. These are valid for upto 6 months. They may tell you your first stay is 60days max, but you can extend easily when here.
Try putting up a fresh thread asking about custom bike frames.
There seem to be plenty of bike bods on here, but I doubt they will look at a model thread.
You probably couldn't get a mandate to redevelop an area and build an underground shopping mall. Especially if it causes major disruption.
There is an existing mandate to build bomb shelters, and there are added benefits to both the infrastructure and opportunities for business that can be captured too :-)
My university and tertiary students only had lectures between 8am and noon, Many didn't even turn up for lectures, but would turn up for exams. There is an old joke in China, that university is hard to get in (Gaokao), but easy to get out (very hard to fail). I was told by my Dean, in one provincial level uni., that if SS failed and exam they would resit up to twice and would be given an automatic pass after the second resit.
At a tertiary college in Kunming, I had about 30 regular SS out of 60 on the register, but 110 turned in exam papers. Half of them scored less than 30% (and I had pretty much told them the answers and where to find them (in the PPTs I gave them). Lo and behold, I was told by management that the SS all had to pass, including the guy who got 9%.
The problems of students staying in the dormitories, not working and playing computer games has been in the Chinese news several times in recent years. Unless the authorities have got a grip of this recently, I doubt it will have changed.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
