Q: Where to find Christmas cards in and around Beijing?

A friend suggested Wangfujing Street, but it is a large place to wander around alone with only a very basic knowledge of Chinese. When I say basic I mean I know how to say hello and thank you. Learning more but slowly progressing. Any suggestions?

The Friendship Store (3rd Ring Road) - but don't expect totally comprehensible messages, the cards are Harrmalk English if you get my drift.

there is the Foreign Language shop on Wangfujing Street. Although there may not be Christmas cards, there is a good selection to chose from.

I think I saw Xmas cards in April Gourmets, and the big Jenny Lou's near the embassies, but I can't be sure. I do remember seeing cards though!

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
