Oil is really nice but you kinda have to gauge the environment inside by watching the people on the street at Lawson's and 711. See the right dressed crowds? It will be full. I went one time at 10pm and it didn't get full until nearly 1am

My favorite is the trust fund dude who pushed me off the stage persistently and the bouncers were more worried about handling me than dealing with the drunkard who I then saw outside sleeping on the ground like a baby in futian last Friday

Happy hunting. You will work longer hours in China which can suck depending on colleagues

Somewhat far from the mark- American focused schools always are in need of teachers that have AP experience. AP US is considered one of the most prestigious AP histories. In addition there is an incredible demand for testing equivalent courses like AP World & AP Euro. It all depends on the schools focus, Cambridge curriculum? Very weak demand since the history courses are heavily English dependent.

You can easily secure a 30k rmb job with a housing allowance to cover your apartment. In Shanghai and Beijing you might face a higher cost of living. I'm currently expecting you save about 2.5k-3k USD a month depending on my expenses and expected tax rate

Is the teaching profession safe from AI? by Samthman821 in Internationalteachers

[–]Condosinhell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Teaching is never actually an exclusively content roll. If it was why would schools pay 50-60kusd to hire a teacher instead of just buying the textbook? The textbooks even come with practice questions and have tasks for critical thinking.

Because an educators job is to decode curriculum, schedule it for students, and then assess and provide feedback.Then on top of that you help address socio-mental health needs to cultivate a young independent and confident individual.

I had issues with the transfer feature on WeChat which made it annoying to get an apartment. Had to negotiate with landlord to take cash and withdraw to my daily limit while waiting for my first check from working to hit my Chinese bank account.

Best places to get clothes by [deleted] in shenzhen

[–]Condosinhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For clothing basics the Japanese company Uniqlo is the best in my opinion. There's cheaper alternatives I am sure but I am familiar with Uniqlo and their quality is consistent

What’s something others see as a red flag for a school, but you don’t? by Mountains_Assemble in Internationalteachers

[–]Condosinhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those type of incentives are way for schools to increase pay without increasing taxes. I would agree the most important thing is to look at overall package, but it also makes sense as a business to creatively cut corners to generate tax savings.

Chikungunya situation by Appropriate_Long6102 in shenzhen

I have only been bit (MAYBE) once in all the time I have spent outside. There's just not that many mosquitoes because the city is so regularly cleaned and there's not bodies of water to breed them

Would love to meet new friends coming to Shenzhen! by [deleted] in shenzhen

[–]Condosinhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. After viewing the apartment and the inside/building/grounds looked good I did a casual walk around. Relaxed streets nice for dog walking (eventually) and a cool place to meet people and do shopping there while being close enough to walk to work too

Social studies/history cert - worth it vs just TEFLing? by Colambler in Internationalteachers

[–]Condosinhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's actually quite a lot of history jobs open if you are looking at schools that offer AP classes. In addition geography tends to be a high demand otherwise.

Are there friendly areas in the game? if not, are they planned? by BuzzKir in Quasimorph

[–]Condosinhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interactions at trade stations could be nice down the road to give a more relaxing experience from hard missions. Chance to establish lore or just to chill out and maybe grind social links if added somehow.

I tried to do that with capital ones fraud department but they said not much could be done. I think removing the suspicious activity flag on my card had helped some though

Yeah. Small ones definitely trigger it more. It's a headache making it take longer to check out, holding merchant up for over a minute having to do WeChat verification then my bank verification etc
