Q: Qinhuangdao, Hebei, what's it like to live there?

Hi everyone

Ive been offered work in this coastal city and before I accept I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any advice to offer as to laowei living conditions - such as prevalence of coffee shops, yoga classes, any tourist diversions to take in on days off, bars and clubs, supermarkets stocking imported foodstuffs, other foreigners to have a beer with, etc. Thanks for any insights.

Katet, it is actually a quite pleasant well developed level two Chinese city. Coffee shops in relative abundance. Plenty of bars if you drink...just remember never to take an open drink... TESCO, Dar N Fa, other major supermarkets. What you can't find, simply order from taobao.. they stock nearly everything. It's on the G and M train routes so you can get most places in China in less than twelve hours. OK regional airport, just OK, not great. Bitterly cold and long winters, short spring, long summer-into-autumn.

Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have be

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information. I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
