You could try buying vitamin B3 at your local chemist ( I buy lots of vitamins in little white tubs, normally B complex: folic acid, B1, B2, B6, B12 for only a few yuan each which turns out to be a lot cheaper than buying multi-vit packs) I haven't seen B3 though. That or you could buy food that is rich in niacin(B3):

Niacin is found in variety of foods, including liver, chicken, beef, fish, cereal, peanuts and legumes, and is also synthesized from tryptophan, which is found in meat, dairy and eggs.

Animal products:
liver, heart and kidney
chicken
beef

fish:
tuna
salmon

Dairy:
milk
eggs

Fruits and vegetables:
avocados
dates
tomatoes
leaf vegetables
broccoli
carrots
sweet potatoes
asparagus

Seeds:
nuts
whole grain products
legumes
saltbush seeds

Fungi:
mushrooms
brewer's yeast

To ask for it just write a B cubed on a piece of paper (I mean B elevated to the third power : B^3) and a translation for vitamin which is similar sounding in Chinese, if memory serves. That how I manage to make myself understood anyway.

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
