Austria, a welcoming destination to expats? by Cheryl
Hello everyone, Settling in Austria, like every new environment, can feel like stepping into the unknown and brings many questions: how will it go, how to integrate successfully, etc. To help smooth this transition, we invite you to share your ...
I lived in Austria before century's turn. On every subsequent visit I have been disappointed, and increasingly appalled, by how diversity destroys a culture. *** Read More

I have lived in China the past 24 years, so I'm pretty well-adjusted/innured to the country. Still I like to hear from other folks from time to time. I have a Chinese wife (my age; not cradle-robbing) and a Shiba Inu dog (I tell people that, being ... Read More

Hi everyone,Just landing in this country. Would love to meet more foreigners people around. Cheers
Greetings. I just looked at the forum after a long hiatus. I live in Hebei, too. Around to the east of you, in Yanjiao (near Tongzhou on Beijing's extreme east side.) I imagine you're reasonably settled in by now. I've been in China 20-odd years, ... Read More

US expats: thoughts about the upcoming presidential elections? by Ameerah Arjanee
Hi everyone. I’m a content writer for Expat Magazine, and we are planning on writing an article about what American expats abroad (and non-American expats living in the US) think about the upcoming presidential elections. How do you think the ...
This is a bit belated, but the result means little. It merely pauses the Yanks' 文化自杀, cultural suicide, for a few years. Though, in the few weeks since the election, one does note the outgoing junta is doing all it can to ... Read More

If you want to leave China, you simply leave. I have traveled outside the country numerous times while living here. As long as your visa in not expired, the authorities do not much care. Read More
Visa with an Associate's degree in Web Design and Development by gimenezcorbalan
Hi everyone!I hope you're all having a great day. I'm writing to ask for advice on a question I have. How difficult is it to get a work visa or to do internships in China with just an Associate's degree in Web Development, and speaking both English ...
The last I knew, a Z-visa (work) demanded a BA/BS plus work experience. In addition, a job in that field would put you into direct competition with locals and is something that is VERY tough in these years post COVID. That said, you might be able to ... Read More
Email services blocked by China's Great Wall? Gmail, hotmail. etc. by CaliRay
I'm often asked what email services work in China that don't require a VPN to access. I don't know of any VPNs that can be downloaded while in China. Any information about this is appreciated.
Everything I used to use has been blocked tighter than Grampa without his prunes and stuffed fulla cheddar and hard-tack. Sign up with an in-country service like QQ Mail. Works fine, naturally enough. I have been using it for the past dozen years or ... Read More

Hi Everyone, I'm Claudia, I've been living in Vietnam for 3 years, but from the UK. I am now planning to move to Chengdu in august, is anyone interested in going for coffee sometime? Is Chengdu an easy place to live?
What makes you think you deserve or would benefit from an "easy place"? Chengdu is damnably INTERESTING, which trumps easy nine falls out of ten. Go there with that in mind and you'll thrive like a brood of baby buzzards hatched onto fresh roadkill. ... Read More

Advice for China? I have been living here 20+ years. Stop worrying about your precious health and get out there and live. If your constitution is sound, you'll do fine here---indeed anywhere. If not, well, "Siegen oder untergehen." There are still ... Read More
