yes i think they have age restrictions for the newer fast trains, i read something once in an article. actually even some airlines (chinese and overseas) do have age limits.

Looks can be deceiving. THe person that you thought looked over 30 might have actually been younger. ANd the person you thought was under 30 may have been older. So I don't think so.

ambivalentmace:

was not just a person , the whole staff looks older and this is an observation over 3 years, i teach in 3 cities and take 2 or 3 trains every week. not an isolated case.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
