Q: counterfeit and/or defective condoms

Just busted 3 in a row on 3 consecutive nights. I'm not bragging. That never used to happen back in the states. Supposedly, they were name brands; Durex, Lifestyles & Trojan. I even bought them all from different stores. You would think a country with a one-child policy would put tighter restrictions on this kind of thing. What's your experience?

Don't by Chinese condoms. If you buy the name brands you are at risk of them being fake. If at all possible, shop in bulk when you are out of China or order from the web. I think in the past there was a thread where someone had found a good source for party balloons from Thailand.

I am sorry if I have offended the 5000 year old tradition of making faulty contraception, but as long as less tha 5000 people reads this, I will not go to prison.

I've never worn condoms in my life due to... size issues. Might explain why I've knocked up several women, have no money, and am stuck paying massive amounts of child support. Still dunno why I'm disease free. Oh, you wanted advice? I'm irresponsible and I wish I could help you... OH WAIT! Import them.

I use dustbin bags and gaffer tape. Cheap, easy to use, and snug as a bug in a rug.

Scandinavian:

It's just difficult to get garbage bags that are large enough

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?

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
