If it was me, sitting in mainland China with a bottle of Jack I would

 

1. Drink it

2. Find an online retailer in Hong Kong and order it from there to my friend

 

I don't see any problem sending the bottle as such, if packaged properly even the most aggressive postman should not break it (wooden crate + styrofoam lining etc) but what the customs officers say is another thing. Must be easier sending to HK than from HK though. 

BHGAL:

is doing it legal????? or maybe I have to be with it....silly me!!

My friend tried to send me baijiu from one city in mainland to another. SF Express delivery wouldn't do it.

Follow Scans advice and order it online from HK.

thanks for your input......I found a place in Hong Kong that will save me the hassle/wondering...just now it's more than one package...  again, silly me!!

and I can deal with the one I got in a more appropriate manner.... drink it as you suggested.

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
