Remember !! Don't Overstaying your visa on the Chinese mainland

Don’t overstay your visa. This seems obvious, and yet we hear enough stories of people doing this that it bears repeating that this is not a good idea at all. Here’s why.
The basics
Although the punishments described below vary in severity, overstaying your visa at all may jeopardize any future visa applications. In most cases, you will get a written warning saying that you cannot overstay your visa again within a given period of time.
There is no “grace period”
Unfortunately, the rule that allowed for a ten-day grace period is no longer in operation in China. That means that you may be liable to pay a fine from the first day that you overstay your visa.
If you find yourself in this situation while trying to exit China the border officials’ reaction may be anything from giving you a telling off and letting you go, to asking a few questions, to even denying you passage until you pay a fine
If you’re not on your way out of the country when you discover your situation, you should go straight to the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau, where officials will interview you and ask you to sign a written statement (basically declaring that you have been very foolish). You may have to pay a fine at this point, although if this is your first offence it is possible that you will be sent on your way with an order to sort out your visa situation and not to make the same mistake again
Unfortunately, exactly what will happen is difficult to say, and there are no guarantees that overstaying by just a small amount of time won’t have some kind of negative effect
Being fined
If your visa expired more than a few days ago, you will almost certainly be fined. The fine is 500 yuan per day , with a maximum fine of 10,000 yuan.in fact ,the fine for somewhere is more than 10,000yuan  .For example, if you overstay by 12 days you’ll be fined 1,000 yuan. It is depend the case .
You may also be given an official letter of warning. This means you have been placed on a two-year probationary period. You shouldn’t have any problems applying for or renewing visas during this period, but if you overstay again you may be blacklisted.
If you overstay your visa by a significant period (this is usually considered as being over one month, but basically it’s up to the discretion of the officials you find yourself dealing with), you may even be jailed for 5-60days, and/or deported.
If you are deported, you will be given a red stamp in your passport that gives you 10 days to leave China. You will then be banned from returning to China for ten years. If you are merely “ordered to leave” you may not be blacklisted.
Your embassy or consulate is unlikely to be willing to intervene on your behalf in any dispute over staying in China on an expired visa. However, in extreme cases it is worth trying to talk to them anyway – they may at least be able to offer you a specific route out of your situation. In most cases, though, it’s up to you to know when your visa will expire, and to deal with the consequences. 
Key words: Chinese visa, overstay in China

Mandarin Phrases with double meanings

图片
As language evolves, it goes without saying that meaning will alter or even completely change. This is true for all languages and Mandarin is no exception. So, let’s look at a few seemingly innocent phrases and their hidden meanings. 戴绿帽子 dai lu maozi: To wear a green hat This is an unusual concept but nonetheless very interesting. Ever wondered why you get more than the usual weird looks when you wear a green hat? During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang made it a law for all men working in the prostitution trade to wear green hats. Later on, this green hat was used to identify a man whose wife had been unfaithful and thus, “made him wear a green hat.” This is why you will never see a Chinese person, especially a man, wearing a green hat. It infers that his wife has been unfaithful 吃软饭 chi ruan fan: To eat soft rice Literally this phrase means “to eat soft rice” but has the interpretative meaning of a man who is supported financially by a female. 飞机场 fei ji

Shanghai's 9 Most Intense Matcha Desserts

Green tea has been around since the Chinese discovered its 'awakening' effects helped them meditate back in the Tang dynasty (609-705), but it was the Zen Buddist sect of 12th Century Japan who refined it into the bright green powder you see today. They did this by growing it in the shade to produce a theanine-rich, caffeinated tea and then powdering it.  Along the way, Japanese patissiers and confectioners discovered it tastes absolutely fucking delicious in cakes, ice cream, mochi, Swiss rolls, Napoleons – pretty much everything. So when it comes to matcha desserts, you're either a part of the niche that loves them, or you haven't been enlightened yet...  Here's a list of the most matcha-y desserts you'll find in Shanghai, from one matchaphile to another. 1. Tea Funny's Matcha Cookie Cups With Yongkang Lu having sobered up after the Xuhui Mayor staged an intervention last year, the street has cleaned up its act with a host of teetotal cafés

14 Things to Know Before Moving to China As an Expat

Living in China was an amazing experience. Although we were quite happy most of the time, there are a few things I wish we had known before moving to China as an expat. So if you’re considering living in China, for example as an ESL teacher or to study Chinese, here are a few things you should know before making the move. 1.     The majority of people speak very little English Although this is true for a lot of countries, it is especially true for China. Even in big cities you’ll often have problems finding someone who speaks English. There are of course people in China who do speak English and speak it really well, but the majority don’t. So, what does this mean for you, future (or current) expats of China? Keep calm and learn Chinese! 2.     The work ethic may be very different than what you’re used to Working and living in China is a great experience. But you should know that the work ethic may be very different to what it is like in your home country. China is huge,

5 things foreigners envy about life in China

图片
Though foreigners are idolized in China, it’s crystal clear that there are still some things foreigners envy about China and the Chinese. If not, how can you explain the boom in the rate of students, businessmen and workers in China? It’s true that most expats can mention one hundred and one things they don’t like about China or Chinese people but yet we seem deep rooted and refuse to leave China and go back to our different countries for one reason or another. So what are these things that expats treasure most about China? 1. Low prices.  This is one of the best things that foreigners envy most about China. From the cost of food, to clothes, shoes, transportation and bills such as school fees and utilities the cost of living here is relatively low compared to other countries. Newcomers that check the price of some goods in Alibaba and Taobao are astonished by what they find. You get to see the obvious power of low price in clothing (designer brands excluded) and shoes.

9 Reasons Y you’ll Never Find the Love of Your Life in Shanghai

Living in Shanghai might be one of your most exciting (and most confusing) experiences in life. This colorful crazy city gives you the chance of a fun and vivid social life and endless opportunities to meet new people (mostly when you are drunk). Also, it’s not that hard to get to know a guy (again, mostly when your are drunk)- definitely not as hard as back home - at least that’s what I find. Dating is a normal thing to do (although no one really knows what dating is supposed to look like these days…). You will eventually find a guy you really like - let’s say you meet each other at the Shangri La pool party - and you think the two of you would just be perfect for each other. But somehow you never end up having this amazing relationship you ever dreamed of / you always hear about. And here is why: 1. You are only here for a limited amount of time Whether you get here as an exchange student, an intern, or postgraduate - you most likely won’t spend the rest of your life in
