Q: Someone said to me, "Some people show their loneliness by smoking?"

What does this mean?  I was talking about how much I hate smoking and I think people who smoke in public are rude. Anyway, not trying to start a debate on people smoking in public, just wanted to establish some context.  Someone is going to be a dick and try to debate that anyway.  But anyway, someone tell me the meaning?

i am not a smoker, and i think each to his own. Whoever said "Some people show their loneliness by smoking?" must be Chinese (apologies for generalisation!) because friends who smoke tell me sometimes they enjoy a smoke by themselves to relax and reflect a bit. I know it doesn't really answer your question!

It mean what it do, Chinglish will to you do help contemplate the what mean. Why the Hell are you trying to figure this out, what possible nuggets of knowledge can possibly lurk within?

I'm not lonely and I have a twenty a day habit. Hope this clears things up a bit?

Cigars are used for celebration purposes...a regular cigarette butt on the other hand is not. If they are referring to smoking a cigar than no it won't show that you are lonely, but maybe they are referring to the regular one's you see people walking around with.

but how does that show people you are lonely?

Depends on where you stick the cigar.

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
