I found out I make more money than my fiancee dad who is 60 and has been working same company almost 40 years

How are you going to show loyalty to your employer if not by putting in 200 hours per week, and drinking yourself into oblivion?

Luckily , I think expats in Japan are exempt to this nonsense

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. 😄

To become a teacher. <:thonk:288060975775612929>

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.

@porco whats the image of

@Joldberg fo guan shan, kaohsiung

@kaetaa do they do math in chinese?

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

@porco good tips, will def do that. I want that anime card bad

@porco is your gf chink too? Or beautiful Switzerland masterrace?

@kaetaa taiwan chink

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?"
