Hey gang.

One of my colleagues has been asked to leave here, and has been offered a contract in Double Dragon in Hangzhou - pay is as stated.

Will this be liveable?

From what I gather, the answer will be a loud 'NO'.

Her other alternative is Nanchang in Jiangxi (say pay etc), but I've been to Nanchang, and don't have a lot of liking for the place.

Your thoughts??

Without just jumping in with a loud NO, I will say that HZ is a pretty pricy place (especially for good accommodation) so your colleague should certainly want to check out the accommodation that will be offered as part of the package. Otherwise, quite a chunk of their salary will be going towards renting somewhere decent.
