I have seen 2 Chinese albinos and a Chinese midget. I have spoken to none of them though. Fun Fact: When my wife saw a midget in the UK she said "wow, you have those too"

Strangely, I met more albinos here than back in Europe.

I've seen quite a few, and in Chinese tradition they proceeded to stare at me as if I were "different.''

one lives in the next street; he's often outside playing cards. i can see his apartment is well shaded. Sometimes he climbs on his (slanted) rooftop to scare away pigeons with his terrifying albinosity.

I'm kidding. He uses a mega-sized flag. Sometimes he's up there for half an hour waving a flag around to prevent the flock from returning. The pigeons are territorial and stubborn, but he outlasts them.

If your life is boring, at least you have patience for dull tasks. I wouldn't even have tried. Not to mention how dangerous it is to stand on the roof tiles of a 6-storey slanted rooftop to wave around an oversized flag.

"Be careful; you might get killed."
"Meiguanxi. I'm albino in China."

Wish I had a roof to stand on....

Reminds me of the time my neighbour over the back fence used to get pissed and climb up onto his roof dressed only in his underpants and gumboots.  He used to do it often of a Sunday afternoon.  While on the roof he'd get stuck into lots of things....his wife; "fkn bitch",  his army mates; "fkn bastards", his boss; "fkn wanker", and so on...ususlly accompanied with his favourite counntry and western hits of yesteryear.  And  always very very loudly.  Sometimes he'd take the hose up with him so he could squirt anyone in reach.

At first it was real funny but finally, as my children were getting old enough to understand, we'd go out whenever we noticed he was getting up onto his roof.

Funnier still was he was otherwise an upstanding citizen who people, who didn't know what I knew, respected.  Name of Lionel.

Yes,several.  They are people too, and normal, don't judge.

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
