Q: Valentine's Day....what will you and your partner being doing?

This Valentine's Day coincides with the 15th day of the Spring Festival, which is also the Chinese Lovers' Day. Will hotels be fully booked? Valentine's Day has become more popular in recent years in China, especially with those born after 1990. What are your thoughts?

Before, During, or After?

louischuahm:

It all adds up doesn't it, I mean whether it's before, during or after. In my opinion, the "before and during" would be rather pleasing. The morning after, well, when you wake up and wonder what you did in that drunken stupor you'll either puke or go into an extended Valentine's.

For the previous Chinese Valentine's day, I tried to take my gf to the nice-ish local Japanese restaurant. After we had put in our order, they came back and said sorry...there is a 500rmb minimum tonight just because of the holiday. Other than ordering the ridiculously overpriced kobe beef (probably fake), there was no way 2 people could eat 500 rmb worth of food here....so I told them to shove off. We went and ate baozi instead for 20rmb. Maybe we'll just go straight to the baozi place this time, as I expect most nicer sit down restaurants will be:

1. packed

2. overpriced

3. ready to make my blood boil

Answer of the DayMORE >>

Q: Can I get a job if I'm a non-native speaker with a BA degree from England?

A: Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law. Pro

A:Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law. Problem is, most Chinese managers and recruiters don't know, they can obtain Working permit for a non-native English teacher with BA completed in a native English country. I'd suggest, you mention possibility of legal employment for non-native English teacher with degree completed in a native English country at the first interview. It's a tough time in China at your example, IMO. Most recruiters and hiring managers in China know only "ET must hold a native English passport ..", so your job application get dismissed right there. The other thing is, never stop sending your CV to the job offers doesn't matter if no replies. At my time in China (pre-2017), I'd send CVs to every offer posted daily.I've even disregarded advert's requirement 'native English passport holder', and ... I got a reply or two in a month time. Take the last paragraph as a rule! Good luck! -- icnif77
