waingro Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Is there wireless internet at the coffee shop where everyone waits? I'm not sure if I can handle sitting there for 3 hours without entertainment... Link to comment
Stepbrow Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Sorry I just saw your post. There is no internet in the coffee shop that I know of. You'll just have to sit on pins and needles like the rest of us did Link to comment

Craig and Mingjun Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Heck, I took my Nintendo DS along, but found 3 other suckers , I mean, fellow petitioners to chat with while we waited Link to comment
dnoblett Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Perhaps in keeping in the spirit of the place a small Majong set and find 3 others to play a few sets. Link to comment
Batmaniac Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 There is a Starbucks across the street with wi-fi. We hit KFC (also across the street) until about 9:00 then headed back and sat around the coffee shop for a couple of hours. Link to comment
waingro Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks guys. Mahjong is a great idea! haha. I think people would start to complain about the noise though. I'll bring a book and my laptop just in case. I'll skip the cofee...last thing you want to do is get wired while waiting for the moment of truth... Link to comment

weiaijiayou Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 you could also try talking (what, really?) to the dozens of chinese people who will be standing there working. i had a really fun time talking to a guy who works at a visa company at the top of the escalator, and the women who shout at the applicants as they come down from their interviews (selling plane tickets). since apparently hardly any of the USCs ever talk to them, they have rampant misconceptions and stereotypes. one lady tried to tell me that 80% of american men have affairs. i asked her where she got this statistic, to which she replied from watching american movies. playing mahjong is another good idea. trust me, no one will complain about noise. hopefully you'll find something to take the edge off while still taking in the interesting experiences of being in china. good luck at the interview!
