Q: What's the best way to take cash home?

I'm taking 10,000rmb in cash home for Christmas. Should I see about converting to USD at a bank in China or doing it in an airport? Which one has less fees? Thanks.

Converting Rmb to US$ (without too many fees) is better through your Bank account, than exchange it at the Airport.

China Merchants Bank exchange my Rmb on 'daily spot rate', or lowest exchange rate possible.

Send it home by wire transfer. That's the safest.

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
