Actually, i'd suggest the 'Children's island' behind the Hongqiao market. It's full of everything and anything you may need for Xmas but bargain like crazy...

I think Tianyi is the land of cheap, bad quality stuff. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to get good presents for family members. A lot of it is fake, or a I already said, terrible quality. I think it's good if you want to buy little knick knacks for your flat that you don't mind throwing away or leaving behind when you move away from China.

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
