Apple is seen as a luxury item that will give them magical status in the eyes of other Chinese people.

Firstly to give themselves face. They just want to be seen with luxury items.

 

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, most of them cannot drag themselves of QQ for more than a minute!

Just like covering one's dry ass with a piece of velvet (actually instead of ass it should be frontal part)

Somewhere in this world we have a saying for such show off...........

Apple are popular every where. At home Apple products are worth more than others for resale. I wish I had bought an iPad instead of my Thinkpad. The Thinkpad is heavy duty, but heavy.

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
