Talk about china, taiwan is great lol

yes I want to live in Yilan

Why do chinks sleep in public so much? Like all through school the chink kids in my class would sleep if they weren't busy and there's a guy next to me right now who was working on a project but then he put it away and now he's asleep. Right in the middle of the hallway. Do they sleep in public during the day because they stay up all night studying?

@Big Meme I've been to the house of a chink classmate that did the same once. Judging by how it looked and smelled I can imagine that sleeping in school was a better idea for him. Apparently he only played league of legends and ate noodles in bed anyway.

what happened here

some guy just attacked the streamer just because he was talking in english

and wanted to literally fight lmao

Chinese new year soon lads

get ready for the flood of chinkd

lol damn it's really that bad? *I'm new around here*

*Maybe I shoulda held off on that order I placed yesterday*

im actually chinese and i speak perfect english

people get mad at me on the subway

"why do you try to cosplay white people"

and most of its is just because of jealousy. jealous that they didn't put in the effort to learn but I did

chinese new years
>git gud deals on chink shit
>have to wait an extra 2 weeks plus regular shipping time so chinks can have their "deserved" break

"its a poor excuse for picking a mans pocket every [Lunar New Years]
-Ebenezer Scrooge (asian version)

hahaha so true

my family tries to celebrate by going to nice restaurants during this time, but they're all closed

sucks shit

yeah usually ill see iof i can go down into the city and find a nice chiunese place but usally theyre all booked. otherwise ill just cook chink food at home

the mcdonalds here make a lot of money during cny because theyre the only store open

if you live in china, dont travel during chinese new years - treat it like a hurricane

buy all your food the week before and just bunker down

traveling is horrible during CNY

and @van ✓ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ and youre right, people say the same shit to my wife. they think shes a traitor for learning english at all

and that learning english isnt necessary and that it's a waste of time

"I can make 5000rmb per month and I don't speak any english!"

less than $800

that's literally what I make

so dog poo

also can't wait to go to Beijing on cny

gonna be so fucking good that I might kms

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

>clean daddy's timbs

>american product

Yes quite a few times

>hold up

@kaetaa is it that bad? 2 years ago I spent CNY in Taiwan and the big cities were just slightly flooded with people because everyone was on holiday so they had time to do shopping. All stores had normal opening hours except for small ones

Small towns you could compare it to our Christmas, at least my gf's town. A lot of families meeting etc

The problem is that the entire country travels the days CNY starts and ends

So those 2 days are complete chaos

Flights, trains, buses, all full

Like a billion people or more traveling to their hometowns

And most things close down

So it's just really boring

So bunker down, or get our of the country the days before CNY

But don't go to nearby countries. They are flooded with Chinese tourists too

Especially Hong Kong Jesus Christ

@plasticsword damn dude you make 5000 a month? That's rough

Go teach English can make double that

5000 what currency?

RMB

Per month, after tax

So like $800

USD

Just bought my flight bros. Going to spend Chinese New year here and then go back to USA for 2 months

With my fiancee and her mom (but the mom will leave after 2 weeks)

What kind of lifestyle does this salary allow you in China?

5000 RMB

its like an internship

its like an internship

5000 RMB

Significantly better than most Chinese

im an assistant engineer doing firmware dev

For an internship that's great. Never seen an intern getting that much in Italy

been here for a year

You can live pretty cheap if you live like a local, but if you want any kind of Western amenities , it's tough

Nice, firmware development is amazing

need to find something new though

Why? Contract ending?

no I just don't like it here

can't speak to anyone

I'll admit the best part about teaching English in China is the time off. I know we are wage cucks in America, but when I taught English I got 3 weeks paid time off a year, plus China has like 3 weeks of holidays , and then I was allowed a break for 3 weeks to visit home

Try to get into xiaomi, they rejected me only for lack of written Chinese

everyone assume I know chink so its a lot of hassle with intetaction

Honestly in America it's common just to get ten days paid time off and then holidays. But the holidays fall on random days so it's impossible to travel

Here, they structure it so the weekend coincides with holidays usually, so you can at least get 3-4 day weekends

I like my current gig the best because I work from home on my PC and I make my own hours, so I pretty much can do whatever I want. Work plus travel together

I want to stay in firmware/software

pretty hard since I don't have an computer science/ele eng degree

Do you want to stay in china? You would probably enjoy Shanghai and can probably get a job

Oh, yeah that'll be tough then

China don't hire much of those people as far as I'm aware

Yeah not much

@plasticsword what degree do you have?

medical engineering

but my project was pretty electrical/software heavy

800$..

Can you do much with that in China?

Depends on the city

My old City wuhan had 11mil population and people considered $800 a month a good job for a man in his late 20s

Like, that's considered middle class apparently

I know a guy that basically stays at a hotel for 1k rmb a month
