1. Being lost somewhere where you can't read  anything, nobody understand, nothing works like back home, and every street/building looks the same. Ho, and everything is oversized.

2. Later on, feeling completely in your element in that very same place

3. Eating at hole in the wall restaurant and having a bit of chit-chat with an old guy there

4. A student giving you an apple because he/she is so grateful of the help you gave him/her

5. Enjoy the awfully formal first visit to your gf/bf familly.

6. Sitting watching the Spring Festival show with lots of people, clothed like for an Antarctica expedition because insulation, mei you

7. Having the runs during a bus trip to some touristic place, and squat toilet in the middle of the countryside for your relief. (Bonus : old guys smocking in the bus for 10 hours)

8. Classic Beijing/Shanghai tea ceremony/ art expo scam
9. Jogging in the smog with the locals giggling and shouting 'KAN KAN LAOWAI PAO BU'

Scandinavian:

10. Learn to count to 10

 

I have missed out. Didn't do 8, and 5 wasn't awful at all. .... visits since well, some might fall into the awful category.

8. is a spectator sport ^^ I once told a guy that he was being scammed, but he was so sure that the two girls were genuinely charmed by him that he just stayed in his delusion.

This question is probably too general, China is huge and everywhere is different. I would say that going to Shaxi Valley in Northern Yunnan is one of the best things I've done in China. Otherwise, in terms of generally living here I like the board games cafes, eating hot pot and barbeque, learning to cook Chinese food, outdoor ice skating in winter, shopping in markets, ridiculous cute stationery.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
