Q: Best answer you always give to turn the table for being asked the same questions every time?

We've all been asked the same handful of questions over and over again... what answer do you always chose to use that either blows their minds or drives them mad trying to understand?

For example: When some asks how much I can drink; I answer with "one good beer." After letting them stand there and look confused for a little while, I explain that the amount you drink is not important, it's the enjoyment of drinking. Telling them that if I drank three bottles, eight bottles, or twenty-eight bottles it all counts as one good beer. The combination of taking away the face competition of drinking and not actually giving them an answer really bothers most of the questioners.

I like to tell people that I'm Korean when they ask where I'm from. (check the pic, its the real thing). Everyone laughs and then they stop asking me questions. I guess its kind of anti social to try to make people leave me alone like that. but the question does get really old.

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi
A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
