The ability to escape the Great Fire Wall and a few million Chinese that want to be your friend so they can practice their English.

A large Chinese user base. Bah-dum-bum!

Thank you folks, I'll be here all week.

DaBen:

Come on. I've already mentioned the Chinese. I expected better from you.

MrTibbles:

The main difference is that it has video and picture uploads. Twitter doesn't because Twitter isn't pretending to be anything more than it is. Small messages from mobile devices.

No you didn't have to actually be helpful. I was just hoping for a better corny joke that what you gave.

Apparently more possibilities, looks like a better tweeter but a lesser facebook. And it's under the government's control, so they can del... uh harmonize any non-harmonious content.

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
