Hello everyone I am Mona from Egypt I have a postdoctoral research job offer from a university in Guangzhou I have a few questions

Is Academic work in Chinese universities very hard and the standard working hour is like from 9 am to 9 pm for 6 days per week?

what about health care and health insurance?

I have a toddler at age two and a half years, is it easy to find a nursery or kindergarten for him and is that expensive?

Hello menna22a,

Welcome to Expat.com

For a start, I suggest you read the Living in China guide for expats.

You will find a lot of useful information and tips that will help you prepare for your expatriation.

Will that be your first time in China?

Cheers,

Cheryl
