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

@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
