 | Re: Hi from Melbourne Welcome K & J! Best of luck with your working holiday then. If you get out of the big cities in China, it's really nice.

 | Re: Hi from Melbourne Thanks! Anywhere to recommend? We've been doing a bit a research but China's so big Shanghai was almost a default option. We thought it would be easier to start out in a big city. |

| Re: Hi from Melbourne Definitely better to start out in a big city due to the bigger supply of jobs on offer. But I prefer the more rural setting. I was in Beijing, but just too big for me and lack of air quality. You could always look for a job before you arrive. This is quite common for those heading to China. Especially schools outside the big cities are always keen to snap up teachers before they arrive.

| Re: Hi from Melbourne Thanks for the response. Good advice! We've been browsing the job sites recently - so many options! We'll definitely start looking outside the square (or big city) a bit now. |

  | Re: Hi from Melbourne Guangzhou's a big city, but much better than Shangahi in my opinion. It's warmer, closer to HK and allows for a better lifestyle I think. The cuisine is fantastic, nightlife is great and Guangdong has many places for weekend trips. Good luck in wherever and whatever you choose to do!

| Re: Hi from Melbourne WOW Exported Kiwi - you like to food in Guangzhou, I almost hurled when I had scorpion. I would eat 20 chickens feet rather then eat a scorpion. Shanghai is cool, definitely not China but cool in its own way, once you have lived in Shanghai for a while you can tackle anywhere in China. Feel free to drop me a line if you want some part-time work. |
