Well I like the music and I even have some of the records - the old 45's back home. Bill Haley, The Big Bopper, Conway Twitty, Dion, Elvis, some I can't remember. But I think finding a rock 'n' roll place that is up and going already in China is gonna be a tough ask. I think you will have to generate the interest yourself in a club or a group. The age group that might have been interested in China would all be in their 60's and would certainly have had that sort of music censored back then. The current generation are into ballads, country and western and Chinese music of the unlistenable type played loudly in supermarkets and taxis.
When you come bring your '56 Ford CustomLine with the big wings and the huge back seat. That will attract a crowd.
You know I just can't see Chinese folk jiving to that music but good luck. Keep me informed and I will definitely join the group wherever you are.
Cool

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
