I cant code python, just interested. what kind of data do you have and what kind of signals do you want? Bitcoin is a pretty unique asset-class, not sure what kind of signals might be appropriate..

Keep the "leader of your local council" in the loop, let them know about this situation (because it IS wrong). It might all be resolved in due course and could provide a good learning experience for all involved, provided they have good intentions.

You should still be on your guard, though, there are plenty of crooks out there - have a look on internet about "Filipino nannies in China" and you will see that many of them who end up as abused slaves come to china under circumstances IDENTICAL to your own (some even pay for the privilege). So take care, do your own research on the administration and legal side of things, and if you have to err, err on the side of safety. I suppose you were hoping to just come and "start work on monday" and "paycheck on friday" but there's much more to it when you're a migrant.

You should contact your embassy and register with them. Just so they know where you are, in case of emergency in China or at home. All the embassy's maintain a list of their citizens, but not many people actually register.

@yankee00 & @lawlz0mg

too quick on the draw, guys.

Totally agree with you both that a number of people are abusing the system and giving the rest of us a bad rep, but there are also plenty of victims that get tricked into coming here and then end up in a bad situation.

@Amylaura,

with a tourist visa, you have permission to be a tourist. Everything else is illegal. Breaking the law erodes your rights, for example your insurance may become invalid, and you can be picked up by the police and deported without even time to say goodbye to friends. Your work contract, if you have one, is also invalid.
You have no legal obligation whatsoever to the "solicitor", agent, school. You don't have the right to form such an obligation. You also have no moral obligation (neither do they).

Did they charge you money for "arranging a job in china"?

im just thinking about a friend whos son was recently diagnosed with adhd. its an easier example to draw paralells with addiction than my kidney disease example, because a sympthom of adhd is to affect the behaviour - just like alcoholism. not so many years ago, this kid would have been called a 'bad' kid, he would hav been beaten, slapped, an the parents would have been blamed. in fact before being diagnosed he was already thrown out of playschool for violent behaviour. i understand that the treatment for adhd is speed! anyway, i think the public at large have learned to see behaviour as a symptom of mental illness in the case of adhd...but not quite there yet in the case of addiction.

you're right, and there's no use denying it: sickness causes hardship.

problems arise when you judge a persons value as a human based on which particular ailment they do or dont suffer from. you can call a drunk 'alcoholic', sure. the folly however is to associate the term 'alcoholic' with 'bad quality person'. this is ignorance (my use of the word is also not to be associated with 'bad quality person'!). in fact i think it could be argued that recovered alco's add tremendous value to society! including those that substitute dope with compulsive dogoodmanship etc! :)

I never worked as a counsellor, just did the trainings. I think the key thing to remember is that addiction is a sickness, not a crime. It can be cured, though I'd say that HFCAMPOs claim about substitution is pretty much on the mark, too. Many do indeed become compulsive dogooders, sporters, etc etc. But I think this sort of substitution, as long as its not harmful to the person or his/her surroundings, should not be seen as a bad thing. This substitution COULD be viewed in the same way as a person with kidney failure substituting sickness with dialysis...

Friendly staff and good service, food and prices are ok. No complaints but its nothing special either, and not worth a visit unless you live closeby.

Nice atmosphere and cosy but the western food is bad. I think they deep-fry the burgers. As a cafe - 4 stars (service is a little bit lacking at times), coffee and cakes etc are good. As a restaurant, 2 stars (western food is too bad, asian food is mamahuhu).

"All the Meat" only had about 3 slices of salami on it, so maybe i got the wrong order. Anyway, leaving that aside - soggy bread, ketchup as tomatosauce, and cheese was probably from a tube.
Potato wedges soggy as well.
I left half my meal, the only thing up to scratch was the coke and the service. Will not be back.

If the name of the shop is written in english then they should speak english, yes! A pokey shithole trying to give the impression of a quaint li'l ole bookshop. Pig-ignorant staff, never been greeted with a smile there, nor even greeted. If you must shop here, bring your own bag. 1 star earned for selection and the (for me) convenient location.
