Locating Things, building, offices and stuff
« on: May 18, 2014, 02:52:25 pm »
Google+ is a valuable tool. So I hope you soon become a member of Google+ .

To find stuff in China here is a start. Lets find all the government offices in Nanning.
Begin with this URL. https://plus.google.com/local/Nanning%2C%20Guangxi%2C%20China/s/Government%20Office

This will display a list of all government offices that google knows about as well as a Google Map of the address.
In this form
Nanning Bureau Of Education   <<<<------This is actually a link to another more detailed page.
政府机构及社会团体;政府机关;地...22 Jinzhou Rd, Qingxiu,
Nanning, Guangxi, China+86 771 280 4643

So you can scroll through the listings until you find the office you want and click on the link. There you will probably find more links to the website of the office your looking for .

That is it for government offices. Suppose you need a hospital.  Look at the top of the page just to the right of the Google+ logo.  Replace the word "Government Office"  with hospital, click the search icon.
Now you have a list of all the hospitals in Nanning.

Do you want to go to KTV when your get out of the hospital? Just replace the word "hospital" with "night club"

Well this works no matter what city your interested in. Just replace "Nanning, Guangxi, China" with " Guangzhou, Guangdong, China" if you want to find information on Guangzhou.
As long as the city is big enough for google to care about then the information is there.

Experiment,,,, Let's search Guangzhou for western restaurants.  Surprised how many?
Try searching for The greenery, burger king, mcdonalds, western food.  There are Pizza Huts, Mcdonalds, Papa Johns, and quite a few more. Just change your search term and see if your favorite is there.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Extending your China Visa without going to Hong kong.

Guangzhou Public Security Bureau Exit-Entry Management Office
Company155 Jiefang South Rd, Yuexiu, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China+86 20 8315 8000

“ Generally very efficient. At 1pm, when they get back from lunch, expect huge line. If your a foreigner, don't mind it, these are chinese for the 2nd and 3rd floors. Foreigners go to the fourth floor, much less people there. Work visas take 15 working days normally, so more like 3 weeks.”
