Thanks for the input everyone.
How much will I spend if I eat like a local in Tianjin? Zhangjiagang?
Housing cost for Tianjin? Zhangjiagang? Just a single bedroom apartment.
I'm just trying to surmise if I will come out ahead going to Tianjin or Zhangjiagang?
From what I'm hearing, Zhangjiagang is the winner in regards to quality of life and surrounding cities. Or at least most people seem to think so.
Obviously Tianjin yuan are weaker than Zhangjiagang yuan. It would probably be like comparing New York to Arkansas. Just back to the original question of whether or not 29,000 RMB is sufficient to counterbalance the increased cost of living? |
to put it into context, I made 4000RMB when I lived in Tianjin, working at a university (housing included)...I ate like a local, travelled to beijing and hebei numerous times, and splurged on a few western goods and I still had a few RMB left over...so, your salary in Tianjin wont be a problem...You can easily get a nice place for about 2-4000 a month...If you want to live in Tianjin and want to save money, avoid Beijing...avoid foreign goods, avoid travelling, eat like a local and you will be fine...
But, I think that if you live in Zhangjiagang, you wont have to work hard to save money... |
