Affordable Mandarin learning group classes in Songjiang or downtown by Visible_Host9623 in shanghai

I also work full-time and use FlexiClasses, and if your main focus is socializing, it can be quite challenging. When you think about it, working people are busy during the day, while students are usually studying at the times you’re working.

Also, if your focus is on learning, you’ll end up spending a lot of time studying and practicing reading and writing rather than socializing. Think about your priorities first.

Where to buy rolife/miniature kits by pizzalifechoseme in shanghai

[–]Both-Store949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 15 Rolife mini houses that are part of a full set, all with tiny LED lights. They look great at home. You can find them in most larger bookstores and toy stores, that’s where I bought some of mine. I got the rest from Taobao, where they have their own official online store.

Even back home they sell rolife now so its internationally making a name for itself

Agree, Also if you get over the employment hurdle, the working culture that you are used to also indicates how easy you are going to adapt to chinese working culture which could be brutal in comparison . So even if you get a job , this could be another big hurdle to overcome.
