I think you can enjoy cleaner non-crowded beaches in smaller cities on the coast. I'm thinking about moving to one of the coastal cities. I hear Sanya and Hainan beaches are nice. Beaches near the big

I felt I learned those same very qualities. I learned the most being solo and traveling by myself in China. I used to like (still do) studying and practicing key language before going to the bank or going

That background scenery is amazing. The building behind you looks like stacked legos. Dealing with fear seems like it only has 2 options like you've already mentioned, avoid it or face it. Avoiding it

I only mention 2nd tier cities are still reasonable because you can live in the outer districts or on the outskirts of town and just take the subway or bus back into the city center, so you don't have

Great post bro, 2nd and 3rd third tier cities are where it's at. A good balance in everything. I lived in 1st and 4th tier. 1st tier cities have the most pollution. Lots of car honking, loud vendors yelling

I can relate to this post. Especially 2, 3, and 4. I had similar experiences & realizations like these in my life.

Quick.Concise.Advice Dtube and Steemit has been a friendly atmosphere and a good starting point for new bloggers/vloggers. Reddit, Youtube and other online platforms have some awful trolls. No matter how

Still a decent salary and rich job experience to have compared to other working class citizens that hold a bachelor's degree but end up making 40k or less annually.

That is rare. I wonder if there some other types of hot pot places in China. I heard Vietnam, Philippines and Thai have their own version of it.

Local training centers or some companies like Kids Castle, Web English or Ashton don't offer that much career advancement. EF, Disney English & Longman English for example have some kind of a career

Teaching in Training centers, you do have some opportunities to advance higher up or gain diverse work experience, depending on which company it is. You could get bumped up to Academic Director, Senior

That's weird. It happened me too. My subscriber count shot up but my views we're still low. I basically had ghost subscribers. On top of that, I came to the Youtube party late. So many people have been

Looks weird in a good way.

A steak would go nice with this entree

Yep, that might have solved our mystery of why everyone has the same dishware. The merchants are perhaps getting it from one source. I saw them lugging these ceramic wares into their cars and ordering
