Q: Can I go swimming if I have tattoos?

I've heard that in some parts of Asia - notably Japan - people with tattoos are denied access to public swimming pools. Does this rule exist in Beijing, and if so, where? (I like swimming, but I have tattoos!)

You certainly can. I have tried and tested. Lot's of people will stare but suprisingly enough people like tattoos in China and they are always saying WOW.

Yes. Of course. If you arent sure, head over to the pool and check out all the other tattooed people.

Of course! I didn't even know it was a problem in some parts of the world. Never had this issue in China though. The only problem i had was to give blood, they refused my blood because i had a tattoo the first time, not the second... strange!!

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
