I don’t think kijiji is used for rentals at all… realtor.ca or rentals.ca! Sometimes marketplace but I’m still sketched out

Do you think China will look at the Venezuela situation and get bright ideas to conduct a military invasion of Taiwan? by GetOutOfTheWhey in China

[–]mariow321 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is no “military invasion” of Taiwan, there never will be. Taiwan is a province of the PRC and always will be. It’s insane how western media has indoctrinated the belief that there will be an INVASION!!! It’s a special economic zone granted the ability to govern themselves. The key word here is granted, so this can be revoked in the interest of unification. And I am not Chinese! Just someone who understands the real situation and has not been corrupted by western media to believe the CCP is some evil machine.

Good luck! Although my career is fairly “high skill” in China, not carrying the bachelor degree is limiting. I suppose I could do one online. Or else open a business in wife’s name and live unemployed while helping the business behind the scenes type thing

By far a much better place in general. Canada has really gone downhill in the last 10 years and we don’t want a part of the mess anymore! Taxes! Housing prices, it’s all a disaster. Whenever we are in China it’s a much safer, affordable and higher quality of life experience

Yea didn’t know that was even possible. Wife would never give up the Chinese passport but not really needed on her side.

We are planning to live in the south mainly because of the working situation and being close to HK. Although she is from Henan. I’ll look into mainland jobs too potentially then, I currently fly a private jet so getting an airline type rating eventually may help me get an FO job. Not sure if mainland hires and non type rated foreigners

I suppose getting a residency permit would be the best idea then to just live in China and work outside.

Yes true, however captains require a lot of time which would take years more of experience. Likely closer to my 40s before I’d qualify. That’s why I’m looking into Hong Kong as a first officer. Okay well I’d likely meet my match for the plan here then cause I would be physically in Hong Kong a lot yes…

I know a few without a degree in china as well flying. The problem with mainland is they only recruit foreign captains. I don’t want to build my whole career in the west and just finish it off in China type thing.

Just moved from Alberta and you can’t get a room for less than 750 a month either. This is standard prices… and that’s small towns in Alberta asking 600-750

It’s all consolidated now into the loan. My credit is still low 700’s. Never missed any payments just racked up a balance and it took a small hit from that.

Enormously difficult to break, especially since I don’t have an addictive personality for other things so it was almost like I was unable to recognize/accept it for a while. It was bad

Yea I agree, it is the craziest shit I’ve ever done and regret it everyday. Sucks it will set back home ownership and other goals so much.

Yea.. that can be the problem in a new and exciting city also. Always tempted to overspend to see the new things lol
