Q: Who do you think you are?

War you want, war you get.

When a foreigner comes to China, they are a guest. They need to act like a guest. When you enter a host's home you do not criticize the decoration and suggest changes that suit you.

Who are you to tell China what it needs or how to change?

Let me give two quotes from the same westerner:

I don't know if China's ready, but you betcha it's time!
And I never said anything about what's best for China.

At least this explains your preoccupation with psychological services.

Since coming to China in 1978 I have seen so many like you crash and burn, leaving a mess for the rest of us foreigners to clean up and live down.

Njord while I agree with you, unfortunately China does not yet accept that "... there is common decency and universally accepted behaviors...."

In New York I could not expect common decency from the residents of Hells Kitchen because they have different ideas.

That is what cultural diversity is all about. Different standards, not universally accepted behaviors.

I'm glad somebody had brought this up. You have very valid points and I agree that a foreigner is a guest of the country they are visiting. If a foreigner treats somebody in china poorly what would they think about the country that foreigner is from. 

Just like what your teacher taught you in school. If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Well, at least I learned in school that's why I can graduate and pass my classes while others are trying to keep up! 

You just hit the nail in the coffin my friend!

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
