It's mostly expected of locals
I'll admit, the work culture in China for expats is pretty lax. I barely work and get paid more than most people
They pay us more because they know it sucks haha
kek
A chink manager at my company said they have to trick people to come to China because it's so hard to get teachers
50% of them leave before their contract ends
And hard enough to get people to apply. They spend loads of money trying to get people over
Huh. On t'internet it seems like going to China is popular as all hell.
It's a massive country
Then again, "they" have a vested interest in making it seem attractive.
True.
Apparently you're treated like shit in JP though, since that place really is popular.
Yeah I can imagine
In China, you seriously can be total shit at your job
Total job security
They never fire people
The new school year starts on Sept 1st here
And the job boards are freaking out looking for foreign teachers
Fucking 2 weeks before
I'd go, but I'm starting uni on monday. 😄
Whyyyy
Do something useful like women's studies
I would, but I don't hate myself quite enough just yet.
Maybe at a future date.
also @kaetaa if you go to fo guan shan, don't bother with a bus. taxi from the HSR station is 600 nt$ total and you can easily find a bunch of tourists to share it with. drive time is half than with the bus
also don't get MRT cards from the station, get a prepaid card from 7-11 so you can have a themed one with anime girls on it
my gf is super ashamed when I take the MRT card out
she knows your power level?
can't hide it if you live together
i am imagining two tall white people in a chinese subway awkwardly showing each other their anime metro cards while their girlfriends talk chink to each other about how ashamed they are
"w-wanna see my cute girl metro card?"
"haha, w-where did you get that?"
please make it real
😖
