inlinesix Supersonic February 12, 2018 Share February 12, 2018 The heater in Shanghai is air-conditioner heater. Unlike in the northern parts of China city, they have warm heating system going to most house. like European country. This is better than heater from aircon which is too dry and consume high electricity bill. The central heating system you mentioned is hot water running through water radiator. I don't think air con can be that dry. During Beijing winter, the air only got 10% humidity. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfx16 6th Gear February 12, 2018 Share February 12, 2018 (edited) Rich parents are sending their children abroad for University education, which is very common. Like my 2 Shanghai friends, one had son graduate from UK 2 yrs ago and return back to Shanghai. With a oversea degree, it give him a much higher paid than local China Uni and easily get a job in international MNC. Another send daughter to California for Uni last year. The heater in Shanghai is air-conditioner heater. Unlike in the northern parts of China city, they have warm heating system going to most house. like European country. This is better than heater from aircon which is too dry and consume high electricity bill. Speaking of this Anyone here send their kid abroad for Uni? What’s the est cost? What’s the est expenses per mtn? Edited February 12, 2018 by Dfx16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged February 12, 2018 Author Share February 12, 2018 If you find Shanghai is freaking cold, then you cannot survive in Beijing liao?! Lol. Anyway, how come you guys have work overseas opportunity le? Due to company in sg send you overseas to work ah? Seek and you shall find. For me I was headhunted by this MNC whose Asia-Pac HQ is based in Shanghai. I took a while to consider but eventually agreed to give it a go. If you're open to the option there are always opportunities. wow. sounds good... doubt I will have such an opportunity... You brought family along? Nope. I'm here alone. Family back in SG. I will try to fly back and visit as much as I can. Will be back for two weeks during CNY period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazerath Turbocharged February 12, 2018 Share February 12, 2018 (edited) Which part of Shanghai is your work place? Edited February 12, 2018 by nazerath Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazerath Turbocharged February 12, 2018 Share February 12, 2018 Think you are wrong on that lei ... Beijing , or northern China , most places have heater , Shanghai , not many places will install . Beijing is zoned to be north and Shanghai south so the heating is really sweet in Beijing, they on it on a announced date, whereas shanghai, u are on your own, very drying when you on yr heater.

nazerath Turbocharged February 12, 2018 Share February 12, 2018 I think is Puxi. It's near the big Starbucks. Puxi and pudong is divided by the huangpu river. I do not know where the big Starbucks is but if it’s on nanjing lu area, it’s very livable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a while to consider but eventually agreed to give it a go. If you're open to the option there are always opportunities. I guess you must have some special skills and knowledge then would have such overseas opportunities. Cause many countries would rather hire their own people before consider foreigners. Unlike in sg, it is the other way round. They give opportunities to FT than own people. Edited February 12, 2018 by 13177 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
