Q: Weibo is going to come out in English - will you be using it?

Apparently in a few months' time Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter) is going to be available here in English.

Anyone thinking of using it?

I won't be using it. If I want to tweet stuff in 140 words I'm just going to user Twitter. And why voluntarily get censored by the Chinese government?

I already use the Chinese version, which I'm kinda on the fence about. It's ok i guess.. If they're going to release it for Western users then they need to seriously optimize it to suit our tastes.

I will NOT be using it. China pretends blocking twitter and facebook and messing with Gmail is all about security, the reality is that it is economic protection. Screw them.

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
