China: Working Abroad/ Self Employment:

If you are an investor with plenty of money you could find a trustworthy Chinese to joint venture with her.

China: Working in China / Salary:

Continue your search. International schools are usually high in salary.

China: Moving to Chengdu:

CHINA drug store are woefully inadequate. It takes ages to find non-asprin. Best bet bring your own cold remedies. Panadol is the only thing available.

Korea: Urgent Help: moving to Seoul:

MOST SIDEWALKS HAVE BICYCLE LANES.

China: Opportunity to move to Xi'an: advice?:

Yes. Seek an inexpensive tutor rather than an organized class with a Chinese-speaking only teacher. Most Tutor are seking to learn English. Beware of riding Bus 5# from train station, as gang of thieves have been slashing back packs of those foreingers riding on Bus #5, when ususaly packed.

China: working in China:

I developed my own business at Beijing and if you ask me, it was easier than the States. But I was self -employed and hired only 24 pople but they were foreigners not Chinese. If you have experience in the UK then you will have an advantage over American Managers.The UK is extremely infuencial there and the American are not well liked. As an American you do have have an advantage, as during the national news the USA is usually mentioned significantly more than other countries. The USA is a benchmarch of China. Jeff Jeff

China: Moving to Tianjin:

Yes, I am about to return to Beijing for my 65th time and can provide some insight about Tianjin. I will again take the $100 boat to Tanggu from Inchon. Tianjin is about a $3 train ride to the Central station of Beijing. If you never have been to China, go to the library and borrow a Lonely Planet n China. They provide basic informations, such as numbers and other language idioms. Do not purchase the book as they are available there for less than $10. You might consider living between Beijing and Tianjin, as they are about 100 miles apart. There are excellent compounds between them. Tanggu is about 30 miles east fo Tianajin.

China: move to Beijing:

I have lived in Beijing (64 times) nd would recommend any where other than Chaoyang. Why? osts. Rents have increased over 20 times there and unless you work there,it would be to your advantage to live elsewhere. thejeffkeeran@hotmail.com

China: Yantai or Shenyang ?:

Yantai is very remote and is not on the main line from Beijing. I spent two nights by train to arrive there, whereas Shenyang is strategically situated and only an over night by train and the carriages from/to North Korea arrive there and the train to Moscow also arrives and departs there. I suggest Shenyang with it Russian population would be a treat. Jeff

China: Young and Single - Going to SuZhou:

At $2000 USD a month you are doing quite well and should save with the paid accommodations about $1500 a month. Su Zhou is about an hour by rail from Shanghai ("Sung Hi as the locals pronounce.) It should be better to live there than commute.
