I will be finishing my teaching contract in Daqing, and I will be moving to Chongqing. I understand how you feel. Being excited for a new place and still wondering if this is actually the right move to advance your career instead of landing a job that you may not like. I hope that you have a blast in Shenzhen.

Food in China for the most part is just like food in the west in terms of opinions. Either you will love it, like it and eat it on occasions, or it may not be for you. Love 1. Spicy food I love spicy food. I didn't really think I would because my stomach never felt right back in the states after I ate food that was ...

Are you saying this as someone who has experienced racism in both the states and China? From my understanding, many whites in America as well as many Chinese both think they should rule the world. Thats why theres a global standard of "white beauty" and from my point of view, Europeans thought they were the ultimate ... Full Comment>>

JayKnox, not everyone is fortunate enough to buy health insurance, maybe you are, and good for you. However, it's expensive and many companies still won't pay for your full medical care like other countries will. There's no point in having the best hospitals when there are so many people who cant even afford them. ... Full Comment>>

The education system in the states isn't too well either. The gov's first priority was to cut funding from education instead of big corporations. Teachers in the states are disrespected, and society doesn't care for them. All I'm saying is that each country has problems and I can see you love to focus on the ... Full Comment>>
