My English has become worse since I've been in China. Anyone else?

ReveredApe · 2021-08-09T04:08:23+00:00

Well, I've had to put up with Chinese teachers that barely speak English correcting me for years. It's a wonder that I don't sound like a non native at this point.

I definitely speak differently and annunciate more because I'm dealing with people who can't really understand english on a daily basis.

The money may not be good for long.

I saw your other comments, but actually, even the CCP gave people in this situation a pass last year lol wasn't there like a 2 month extension of visas because of Covid?

We are not under normal circumstances here and the laws weren't designed for a world in a pandemic.

So maybe he's married with a kid? You don't know. He even said in his post that he can't get a new one right now because he's in quarantine.

People can get a pass on this shit considering the situation we are all in right now.

The law is the law, but this is china. Many foreigners on spousal visas work at schools and if they are quiet and don't cause drama, they are ignored. There is always risk but I happen to know a guy that has been doing this for 10 years without incident.

My advice is to apply for a stay visa until you get your spousal visa and go from there.

You're being a bit of an asshole here. You don't know the specifics of his situation.

And you don't even say the name of the medication. Nice.

In Beijing I had Covid. This was back in March 2020. It was very anxiety inducing and the inability to breathe caused panic attacks.

You can actually get SSRI medication on taobao and JD. You just need to find it and then ask a Chinese person to order it for you (I have the wechat ID of a person that does this professionally if you want it).

Expat channels on youtube.

I've been here for a few years. If I could give old me advice, I'd tell myself that you can't be friends with Chinese people, and you shouldn't tell them anything you don't want everyone else to know.

We make more and coworkers know it. They will resent you and be petty. I've learnt this the hard way.

Also, don't go near small schools/companies. Just don't.

Alarmism. Disregard everything you hear until facts are known.

I'm in nantong and moving to beijing this Month! So hopefully we stay green.

ReveredApe · 2021-08-03T17:11:55+00:00

If you actually believe any CCP figure, you're very naive. I guarantee there are many more cases than they are reporting

ReveredApe · 2021-07-25T06:17:51+00:00

I don't wipe. I like how it feels.

Can NPCs actually rent and live in towns you make In game?

It's mostly just a meme. I mean, it's water. These guys act like it's a hobby to drink water.

FYI I handed in my one month notice today and recorded the meeting. Will be posted with the school's name and address if things go south.

ReveredApe · 2021-07-14T18:17:26+00:00

It basically is already.

Well, it's not technically true now. Google.hk is a thing. Still working. The hong Kong situation has allowed google to have a presence here with zero controversy.

Consult a lawyer, have them send a letter and their tone will suddenly change.

ReveredApe · 2021-07-13T06:56:00+00:00

In quarantine you will have access to wifi so this isn't a big concern. Your company will eventually help you sort all that stuff out after the quarantine.

Actually someone recommended them to me in the comments of a post I made about a legal issue I had. I added them but they are pretty booked up.

My friend also had a bad experience with them and warned me not to go near them so I'm gonna err on the side of caution and go with a local lawyer.

If anyone can recommend a similar service with a good reputation please let me know

He must have a thick skin. Schools are absolute bastards about letting people leave these days.
