Q: Want to know why it's a bad idea to go to Happy Valley?

If any of you have been toying with the idea of checking out Happy Valley over the next few days or weeks, don't! At least not now. I made the unfortunate mistake of going to the one in Beijing last Monday, thinking that Monday would not be as crowded as the weekend. But boy I was wrong. It turns out all kids are off school at the moment so where do they all go? That's right, Happy Valley! Each and every child in Beijing seemed to have been squashed into the amusement park on Monday. To cut a long story short, I have yet to try out any of the cool rides because I couldn't be bothered waiting in line for 2+ hours. That's not an exaggeration!

it is summer time. Apart from the fact that schools are off, there are also more tourists around. (although there has been a drop of the number of foreigners, for obvious reasons)

Too true. That reminds me of my first day in China and the frustrated words I overheard from a somewhat seasoned expat: "1.3 Billion people in China and they're all trying to get on the same train as me!!"

There's a ride at Happy Valley called The Victoria. Very popular, but you can only ride it once.

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
