Hi Everyone,
Nice to see English websites again after a year of everything-Korean, here in Yanji, North Eastern part of China.
I have been working in Shanghai for the last 5 years doing BD jobs, restaurant/bar/hotel managing, and retail. Then got hijacked by a HK investor who owns a hotel and bar in Yanji, offered me a great package that made me accept relocating to a place where winter season gets to -30 degrees. The city uses Korean as their main language and not Mandarin. To cut things short, everything here is Korean. The food, the bars, their way of life, tv channels… everything. A city where English is totally useless. I survived however for speaking Mandarin.
And now, after 12 long months, it’s time to get back to reality.
I am planning to move to Chengdu in 5 days and try my luck landing a job there.
It would also be nice if I get some opinion from foreigners in Chengdu.
A few information would be greatly appreciated
– which district should I choose to live at, and where can I find expat bars and restaurants
– how much money will it cost me to rent one bedroom flat about 50m2
– what are my chances on finding a job ( I have noticed that 80% of jobs in Chengdu are mostly teaching jobs)
Hope to hear from anyone real soon. I have not booked my ticket yet, so there is still some time to back out.
PS. I am going to Chengdu with my Chinese Fiancee and she is from Sichuan, Leshan
I am a mixed Filipino/Chinese 🙂
Thanks in advance…
