| I've been doing extensive research on China. It is a good place. You and your family could do well there, I believe. You have to be willing to go with the flow on Chinese customs and living patterns. It's a country with a unique set of traits. It's not for everyone. Definitely you should follow the laws. Be hard-working and law-abiding, and you will have a nice time. |
It sounds like you have a positive take on China, scholar. Have you actually spent time there living and teaching? After all, doing research often has little to do with the reality of living in China, or anywhere else for that matter. |
I-ve been in CHina and I'm seriously considering going back with a baby. NOt perfect, but more affordable than where I am now.

| As I stated, I am in the research phase. I attended a top-notch university and now plan to volunteer in China for a bit before heading back to the U.S. to obtain a position in a prestigious organization such as UNESCO or the World Bank. I intend to do a deep dive on China's social, economic, and historical narrative and leveraging that core competency in a role where cross-cultural team-building is rewarded. I do think that my advice is relevant in a broad cross-section of countries and situations. Work hard and obey local law and regulations, and you can have a good experience. How could that steer you wrong? |
You win for the best post of the day!  |
Yes, he/she/it wins for "Best Chinglish". |
