Shosetsuin Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 beijingjenny, I haven't found any decent hospitals here in shenzhen...actually its rather scary...I have some very very frightening stories if you want to hear them...some stuff you wouldn't believe. Thats why we are hoping like crazy to be able to get the visa in time to have the baby in the states....my guess is that its not going to happen though.... just have to stay positive. nate Link to comment
beijingjenny Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 So sorry to hear that Nate. I'd've thought Shenzhen was more developed than that. No good women & children's hospital or anything? I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy case processing anyway... Jenny Link to comment

This is actually amazing for your case, since it is allowed to have a US residency concurrently with a HK residency. And if your wife's hukou is from SZ, she can get into HK no sweat. I just closed the window to the link, but it was in today's straitstimes (www.straitstimes.asia1.com.sg) Link to comment

Tina_&_Jarrod Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I am a finance/systems manager at Macy's in San Francisco. Tina is currently unemployed and attending English courses full time. Prior to our marriage, she worked in Shanghai for 3 years as a sales rep for large format printers that prints billboard signs. Hmmm, sales rep? I think I see a job for her at my company in the, hopefully, near future. Link to comment
Jeikun Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I'm a Manager at Petland part time, and IT student part time, and a sales rep at Home Shopping Network full time. Sometimes I even sleep... I'm ex-military as well. Was a Korean Cryptologic Linguist for 4 years (It sounds way cooler than it was, but that's why I like to type it out ) Jun isn't working right now, but she has been a program director/writer for a media company, teacher (computer science at USTC), ad agent, pet store owner, most recently assistant to the general manager of a furniture company. As for what Jun can do when she comes here we're still working on that one. She'd like to eventually own her own business, but as for what to do before that... I think depends largely on polishing the English skills. Link to comment
yyn701 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 It's really interesting to see all the diversity we have here. Ryan- Xiao Ming and I have also been thinking a lot about what he can do. One important reason we hope I get accepted into grad school in Chicago is because there will be a lot more job opportunities for him. We know a couple from Dalian (US woman/Chinese man) who did the K-1 and when they moved back to the US, the guy couldn't find a job so they moved to a bigger city (Boston) for him. Xiao ming only has a 3 year university degree so we are thinking he can do some work as a translator- they just opened a new Chinese cultural center in Chicago. Or how about working at the airport for a Chinese airline? Anything where he can use his excellent English and of course fluent Chinese. He will also probably go to school part time to study either vet-tech or physical therapy. Or maybe do 1 or 2 more years to get his bachelor's. The best thing would be if he could work for a business that wants to expand into China- he'd be great at that and it pays quite well. Hope that gives u guys some ideas!Amber, can you kindly advise that whereabouts is the new opened Chinese Cultural Center in Chicago? or any web links? thank you. Rosey Link to comment
