Yep.
With fake certificates, you would be easily made out. The only people who would take you on would be desperate or totally not knowing what they are doing. More red flags.

I personally would not buy local brands as their traditional customers do not have strong beards. Only fluff. I would bite the bullet and pay the premium for Philips or Braun, I have seen both in China.
Triple floating heads are a lot more expensive but do a good job. Although some are over priced. As are cartridge razors.

I am pretty certain that the reason you have been offered work that is 'low pay or bad location', is because you are not qualified.
There are plenty of other countries in Asia that would accept you legally, and you can get your 2 years experience in those countries. Then come to China to work legitimately and try to find a good employer.
There is a bit of a romanticised notion about coming to work in China. There are some Chinese employers who can be ruthless and mercenary. If an employer ignores Chinese immigration and work visa regulations, that should be a red flag. There are many horror stories. Just do some google searches.

What is really annoying is that if you park on the side of the road, that does not have designated yellow bays, you can get a ticket. Even if the road is empty and you are not causing any kind of obstruction. Whereas, if you park on the sidewalk, no ticket.

299 deposit. So I am in effect buying a bike, and paying a small fee to allow me to ride it around the city and then park it anywhere and walk away.
I understand the need to fund the scheme upfront, but I would prefer it if my rental fees were drawn down against my deposit, until used up. Why? Because if the scheme goes belly up I would not see my deposit returned.
Sorry if this sounds cynical, but I have not had enough bikes of mine stolen yet to make me blasé about giving others my money.

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.
