Q: What is that white jelly that is served in a Papaya at formal dinners?

At formal dinners now, twice I've been served with white, lumpy jelly in a papaya half. It isn't one of the most disgusting foods, but I have a suspicion now that it is making me sick. Last time I ate it, I developed a sore throat and cough the next day, and it lasted for a week. Now I have the same thing again. Someone at one of the dinners told me it was a Traditional Chinese medicine, so that is just another piece of evidence that it is the cause.

Does anybody know what that is, and whether I should eat it?

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
