@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
