Ayi in Beijing by Jokhaye
Hi. I am looking for an Ayi and i want to get an idea. For a full time Ayi English/Chinese speaking. For a part time Ayi. How much do you usually pay and what do they normally do. Also if she has to stay for the night how much is the charge? And ...
a regular Ayi (Not English speaking) 40~50 RMB/ hour for part time job in Shanghai (2 times in one week and 1 time about 2~3 hours for only cleaning the house) No idea about full-time or English speaking one( times more than regular i think) Read More
Being a 'non-white in Asia' by Guestposter1256
I'm heading to Beijing soon and I've heard and read some unsettling stories about black people's experiences in China. I'm curious about how people have dealt with the challenges of racism (or racist tendencies) while there.
@VANNROX Your secret is absolutely correct ! Here is the SECRET... Smile, accept and integrate. Learn the language. Never talk about yourself. Talk about how wonderful the new friends you have are, and how great China is. Talk in your broken ... Read More

Money/Cost of Living by Guestposter5465
Hello. I'm considering a job in China. My salary would be about $2500 pretax. I'm wondering if this is enough to save about a thousand a month or more. The job is in Kunming; don't know if that has a vastly different cost of living than ...
HI I don't know how much you will get after tax. But if you got 2000$ left, and just like you said live not luxury, you can save 1000$ in Kunming I think, but really not luxury anyway. Read More
