Have not seen any one yet, but my guess is that they would use a fat Chinese, they are cheaper. Now, how do you say "Ho, Ho, Ho" in Mandarin ?

DaBen:

Hire Chinese? What are you talking about? The real Santa always shows up to anything like this. Traveling around to all this different shopping malls and Christmas parties is how he gets warmed up before he has to pull his all-nighter on Christmas Eve.

I thought Japanese Sumo wrestlers in the off season would make kick-ass Santas!

Now I have this mental image of Santa wearing nothing but a sumo thong.

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
