Q: Where can I buy a fire alarm, extinguisher etc?

Recently heard that a friend back home's house burned down which got me thinking about how screwed I'd be if something similar happened to me here. Friend is ok btw.

 

Does anyone know where I can buy a fire alarm, fire extinguisher and/or other fire safety items? Do big shops like carrfour carry these things? (I'm in beijing). I know its probably a futile attempt, but I'd rest a bit easier at night nonetheless.

most hardware stores have them.  I only know hardware stores in my neighborhood though so I can't really give you any advice there.  I think walmart has them as well though.

 

Funny thing, just the other day I noticed at my apartment complex that there's about 500 fire extinguishers sitting outside.  I  jokingly said "man I should steal some of those and sell them" then I thought "oh the fuck am I gonna sell a fire extinguisher to".....I think I just found my first customer haha  :)

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
