lets share our adventures,fun and experiences while residing in the beautiful continent of Asia. Modified** I believe @ akeba has put y'all through... So I will just give you guys going there an insight on how life is over here and what to expect..  I want to start with some tips for those who plan on moving to China for work, many of these tips are transferrable for people moving to other countries. Becoming an expat will be one of the best decisions you ever make, it will also be extremely challenging. Life abroad is one of the most difficult, exciting, exasperating, rewarding, and incredible experiences you can have. Here are some tips for living in China and getting the most from your experience there. Discover the Culture. This should be obvious to most travellers but painfully is not. All cultures have their quirks and if you are going to live in their country, either accept the good, the bad, and the ugly, or stay home. China has a wonderfully rich culture, and 5,000 years of it to learn about. Taichi, Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Wushu, Kong Fu, Calligraphy, Beijing Opera are all part of that beautiful culture. Enjoy them, and accept the small annoyances that come from the parts of the culture Don't let things like hearing people slurping noodles drive you crazy, it is considered good manners in China and a sign you like the food. Be Adventurous. Explore. First get out and see the city you're based in. Then explore the country. Truly understand where you live. If you live in Shanghai for but only travel to factory towns. You don't know China.  If you go to Beijing, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong you don't know China. Go to Yunnan, Shenyang, Tibet, and Xinjiang. That is how you understand the complexity of China. That is how you truly know the country you're living in.  Eat the food. But ask what it is first. I can't tell you how many stories I have involving Chinese food. Some of it surprisingly delicious, some of it disgusting, either way I have a story. The reason I say ask what it is first? Just last month at a factory dinner, I was served a delicacy I had never heard of before. In English they told me it was called "Pangorin," I thought for sure I had just eaten a penguin. That was bad enough. Then they pulled up a picture of the creature, it was unlike anything I had seen or heard of before. The exotic and unfortunately extremely rare animal was a Pangolin! Had I known it was endangered I never would have eaten it.  I was like wtf...!!! I'll drop my pen now... Giodluck to you guys... More pictures coming up ... |
