Damn....I have not eaten mammals in 20 years, and trying to explain that to locals here is insane.
The chicken here sucks and there is no turkey, so in China it is pretty much tofu, veggies and rice for me.
And what's up with the funny tasting fish with all the bones and head??
China is making me want to go full veggie!!
But diet is a status thing in China...if you have money, you eat meat. If you are poor you eat veggies and eggs!
Most rich people back home are thin...so different here.

Q: Do you have any advice for an international graduate who is looking for a job opportunity in China?

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
