Q: What kind of household items did you buy that changed your China life?

For me it was buying an oven. I suggest every foreigner to do so. We got one big enough to cook two chickens, two 10 inch pizzas (stacked) or a full roast. It was just 550 kuai on taobao. I recco it to everyone. Something about being able to make a roast on a Sunday night just makes you feel so comfortable.

We bought a clothes dryer. After taking my wife to the States, she was hooked. Now, I don't have to hang them, and can even dry clothes on a rainy day, which lately, there has been plenty of!

nevermind:

Soooo soft...ahhh...

My coffee pot, certainly is a must....along with my iron and .......wait for it........ironing board! I crank up the tunes and get at it when I'm bored in the evenings. Good times! My wife and her mother don't understand why I bother to iron anything, let alone my dress shirts.

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
