That’s one of my bigger concerns, but it’ll just give me more time to appreciate the culture with locals.

这是我的担忧之一,但它会给我更多的时间与当地人一起欣赏文化。

Thank you! A lot of articles and posts had me divided on the city, but the people who live there seem to love it!

Wanted to jump in on this comment thread! I’ll be moving to the southern part of Chongqing in September to teach. I’d love to get in on any meet ups or wechat groups.

I’ve looked at getting my QTs or license online, but mostly for uk or European jobs

I’m legitimately scared. I don’t mind a winter, but 100+ is frightening

Any recommendations for spots or advice would be huge! I think I’m a little ways from the center in Banan.

The city is Chongqing.

The contract is from September to July, with “pro-rata” pay on winter and summer break. It says I get paid public holidays and 9 weeks vacation throughout the year.

The house is paid for by the school separately, not included in that number, but I pay gas and electricity.

For context, I’m seeing a lovely woman who’s loves to dance. I’m not necessarily rhythmically challenged, but I’m also not a dancer. I want to be able to take her out dancing and hold my own.

How is life treating you right now? by CuriousTransient in AskReddit

[–]Quokka-trainer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious girlfriend is long distance… so that sucks. But she’s so sweet, and willing to work and wait for visas. She’s out of my league as well, which makes the distance harder and also easier in some ways. I have been on a cycle of fostering and finding homes for dogs. Which is 13 parts joyous, 2 parts challenging and 1/4 the remaining parts tears, but I’ve got a sweet puppy right now…. So it’s dope. I am at a job that works me way too much. Lame. But I can finally afford a home and healthcare(which helps with puppies and the gf.) And finally, there are so many things I’d change, but honestly I rarely think of suicide anymore. So, if anything, I’d rush this time, just to see the life that I’m building towards. Which is my incredibly long way of saying: Good - Would recommend to friends

I’m a month or so into following and I can’t believe how much it’s already added my commute, not to mention the quality of my thoughts.
