@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

2018-02-02 07:47:13 UTC  

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

2018-02-02 08:10:13 UTC  

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

2018-02-02 08:10:19 UTC  

So those 2 days are complete chaos

2018-02-02 08:10:30 UTC  

Flights, trains, buses, all full

2018-02-02 08:10:41 UTC  

Like a billion people or more traveling to their hometowns

2018-02-02 08:10:53 UTC  

And most things close down

2018-02-02 08:11:02 UTC  

So it's just really boring

2018-02-02 08:11:15 UTC  

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

2018-02-02 08:11:33 UTC  

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

2018-02-02 08:11:39 UTC  

Especially Hong Kong Jesus Christ

2018-02-02 08:13:11 UTC  

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

2018-02-02 08:13:18 UTC  

Go teach English can make double that

2018-02-02 08:19:05 UTC  

5000 what currency?

2018-02-02 08:20:43 UTC  

RMB

2018-02-02 08:20:48 UTC  

Per month, after tax

2018-02-02 08:21:00 UTC  

So like $800

2018-02-02 08:21:02 UTC  

USD

2018-02-02 08:21:40 UTC

2018-02-02 08:22:29 UTC  

im an assistant engineer doing firmware dev

2018-02-02 08:22:41 UTC  

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

2018-02-02 08:22:53 UTC  

been here for a year

2018-02-02 08:22:53 UTC  

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

2018-02-02 08:22:58 UTC  

Nice, firmware development is amazing

2018-02-02 08:23:19 UTC  

need to find something new though

2018-02-02 08:23:38 UTC  

Why? Contract ending?

2018-02-02 08:23:53 UTC  

no I just don't like it here

2018-02-02 08:24:00 UTC  

can't speak to anyone

2018-02-02 08:24:18 UTC  

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

2018-02-02 08:24:22 UTC  

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