Q: Where can I find magazines for expats in Shenzhen?

For all of you living in Shenzhen...

 

I live in Hangzhou and I cannot go to Shenzhen myself, however my company will be welcoming two British girls going to the Shenzhen area for a cultural exchange program. They will be coming to Hangzhou for an orientation and training camp and we usually include such kind of magazines in the Welcome Package we give them.

 

So now I am sending one of our Chinese colleagues to pick up a couple of copies for me. Unsurprisingly, when I asked her for this favor she replied: "Sorry, I don't know where to find them". 

I am talking about publications such as "That's PRD" or even others I may not know about. Where can she pick them up? Here in Hangzhou it is usually at bars, cafes, hotels that expats usually go to. 

 

Any suggestions? I need the exact names of places if possible...

 

Thank you so much for your help!

I can't say for Shenzhen whether or not they have City Weekend or Time Out (maybe for Guangzhou?) but you can always have someone check any expat bar/pub/restaurant for you.

I didn't pay attention to such magazines, but the most likely place to find it would be the expat bars/restaurants in Shekou, Seaworld (metro stop has the same name) or in Futian, Coco Park (metro stop is called Shopping Park).

Thank you! I will send this information to my colleague in Shenzhen, so she can go have a look!

I'm sure in Shenzhen you can find everything required just across the border.

You can buy magazines in Bookcity. Its located in Futian right next to the Shenzhen library and musical hall. But its a bit expensive.

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
