There’re always common assumptions about living in China for first-time visitors but not all are true! Many people will expect bizarre delusions but that’s far from reality. Here are the top common myths of teaching in China:
1.      Pollution
This is considered a ‘big thing’ in China, in fact, it’s getting better and it’s the same as any other countries surrounding the area. You’ll be surprised that a lot of foreigners don’t want to go to China as they are afraid of the “pollution†but this isn’t even a major concern and nothing to worry about. China has put in a lot of work over the last years to keep this under control; improve the environment for the living community.
2.      There’s only dogs or cat on the menu
Yes, there’s unusual, shocking food on the menu but that doesn’t mean every single restaurant only specialises in such type of food. China offers a large variety of delicious and great food that many foreigners enjoy; are left impressed with. There’re many famous spots that majority likes to head down to when first time visiting the country as of the recommendations of others and the good taste. This one thing that many foreigners praise about and how much they miss the food in China.
3.      Travel opportunities
Travel is cheap; efficient for other popular destinations in Asia as well as cross the Asia sector. Some believe the travel will be expensive in Asia, but it is super cheap; easy. You can simply use buses, trains or taxis to travel across to other cities; popular attractions in Beijing or Shanghai.
4.      It’s not safe
China is a safe country as of its strict regulations and law, you can be walking around at 2 am at night and nothing would happen. It’s a pleasant, clean and safe atmosphere with many shops open even after midnight with different fun activities.
5.      Nightlife
It’s never night time in China, even walking out after midnight you’ll find a lot of shops still open and bunch of activities to do such as clubbing, concert, after parties and exciting gaming play centres that the youth would enjoy when travelling around China’s popular cities with plenty of great street foods available; and entertaining plazas making the nightlife extravaganza. It is considered as the ‘City that never sleeps’!
6.      No one speaks English
You’ll be surprised how much English and other languages are spoken in China especially, the main cities are so international that you will never find yourself struggling to speak with someone as English broadly spoken across the sector with basic to a good level of understanding. Just be slow, kind when approaching others in English and always have location or important things written in ‘Chinese’ in case if the transport drivers don’t understand to be prepared and use of images to show location points or other things which makes it easier to indicate.
