Q: Looking for Chinese news sites/blogs/time wasters

When Chinasmack died it left a hole in my day I haven't been able to adequately fill. Shanghaiist tries, but frankly it's not very good.

 

I'm looking for Chinese focused sites. They can be either serious or more light hearted. Anybody got any good recommendations?

Yeah I really liked Chinasmack too.

 

As far as I know nothing has came to take its place, but there is a reddit page I follow that has a  lot of interesting stuff.

 

www.reddit.com/r/china

I've started wasting a lot of time/reading on R/China. some of the linked pages are also decent reading at times. For the teachers here there's also R/TEFL

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
