Hi I am from Australia. I also live in Bishan. I love Chongqing….welcome! I have never seen any forms of violence drug use or supply. I have seen one and only one homeless man. I find the locals very friendly and I am constantly asked to take a picture with them. My wife is a Chongqing local.

Love your fashion Montage.

You're a goddess!

You were quite lucky no one reported you for flying a drone at night, this is not allowed in Thailand 🇹🇭 however terrific you got it back 😅

I definitely agree the quality of life in the USA is terrible. We pay so much for healthcare, education etc it’s no worth it 😢

Hello @duality is a Thing. Could I ask for your help? Am planning to travel to Chongqing with the elderly. We do speak some mandarin. If we want to take a car (driver) to drive us around, which are good car hires that includes driver companies to use?

do you not need a visa for china?

Oh, you look very sexy with the last one

Just to make it clear, Chonqching is not the biggest city on earth. It’s actually Tokyo

I teach in Taiwan, and does Mainland China give foreigners a permanent residence card (APRC) after 5 years like Taiwan does?

Do you need to speak Chinese fluently to live there?

lovely

Hi. First of all thank you for your videos and love for your channel. Very useful and clear. I'm from Colombia and I'm moving to Chonqing on September 4th. I'm from Colombia btw. It's not my first time living abroad but it's my first time ever outside living Latin America, so I'm kind of nevrous but also very excited about the experience. I will be studying a Master's degree at the Southwest University and I have to get to Beibei District once I arrive. Is it too far from the airport? How much a taxi could cost? Appreciate your help!!! Big thumbs and hearts to your content.

This is where China is a lot like the US. We make monsters in America and then act surprised when bad things happen. It's strange to say but the cheapness of life and "honor codes" in a lot of Asian countries lead to TERRIBLE things. Imagine you could just marry who you wanted? There are millions of girl infanticides in China and India every year for cultural reasons...

I was Amazed when I traveled to Chongqing. It’s huge! Didn’t like the food though.

Im surprised that they're giving blacks any teaching jobs in China, boy how times have changed, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel

English teachers at after school are being pushed out by the govt. But the Chinese govt can't ban international and bilingual school. The Chinse govt cant easily shut down any after school english "school." And the govt has shut down many, due to the "double reduction policy." ANd has ban for profit english "schools." So those with a BEd, have ALOT more choices and opporunities and better packages. Regarding visa, it is easy to get a visa at international schools than an after school training center. Again, it has to do with your degree. Once the visa staff see you have a teaching license and a teaching contract with an international school, they arent likely to flag you. Whereas for training school, it can be denied easily!

Training school and International school is not neck to neck in terms of packages. If that was the case, then many license teacher will look as training school, as it is easy, min. work and min prep and less politics. EF is a shitty english academy, they only care about their bottle line and l beleive their avg salary for foreign teacher was 10-14k Max, no housing! It is true, english instructions working at these school, do not have alot of time off. They are the most busy during winter and summer intensive and ARE not allow to take time off during the busy seasons. The manager knows this is the profit season. I believe the total number of days off per yr is 1 month, 12 days holidays + 10 days of your own, so it is about 22 days = 1 month. So, they work 11/12 month of the yr. International teachers work 8/12, but paid 12 month. Most after school workers that finish a yr, may or may not get bonus. But for international school, it is a guarantee they will get a bonus after 2 yrs.

It is after school academy! Not alot of time off, compare to International school, which I have calculated, nearly 4 fully paid off. English academy doesn't pay alot. Some provides housing and some does not! I think the salary is about 20-30k before taxes. International school has generous benefits/package, couple with high salary, BUT require a BEd with yrs of experiences. If you have a family, usually insurance and increase in housing allowance are given. Best of all, tution is free. Furthermore, international school provides free breakfast and lunch for teachers. And some will even pay your entire family every yr to fly back home or just give you a travel allowance ranging from 7-15,000 rmb depending on the school. English Acadmies teachers are often not real teachers, as they are NOT certified and these bosses know that. As a result, there are alot of benefits given, as these boss know, they can easily find someone else. WIth a BEd in CHina, and your a foreigner and can speak Chinese, you strike GOLD. You are valuable, even to after school acadmies. THose with a BEd, should not work as an English teacher after school, as it is a waste of their time and most of all, their talent. The package are bad. International school invest heavily in teachers, as it is their profession. And the school knows this because it is NOT easy to sure a BEd/license teacher, as there are many international schools in China. So, these schools are competing for BEd teachers with better packages. THere are so many opportunites and good high paying salaries. One can work at ANY school; local, bilingual and international schools. And best of all, some of these parents will ask for extra classes from you, which you can charge high rate, because these parents know their child has fallen behind, and require extra tutoring services from you. You can charge 1-1.5k rmb per hour and some of these parents WILL pay up in class, easily.

Did you create the video on why you left? In the documentary it was said to need its own video.

Wowww! I’m a black male that lived in China for 3 years. It’s absolutely crazy. This is how I felt coming back home during a pandemic, and why now, after being back for 4 years have decided to move back to China. The sense of community is wonderful here but the added headache of finding a well paying job just to live to work is insanity. Thank you for making this video, I wish you well!

You funny😂

Any Yank moving to China is automatically suspected to be a national security threat and is constantly under heavy surveillance. They do it under the radar (electronically) and you'll never notice. Thankfully, there wont be any problems if you don't cause none, know what I'm saying?

Is there a autumn season in that place?

You should call the local police for being smacked on your butt. Sexual vioaltion is serious crime in china. Once you have the number of filing your application for investigation. The process is irreversible, one can't stop it until the sexual assailiant got caught. And it's easy peasy for cops to achieve their KPI.

The Seattle of China

Did you sleep well at nights while all tall buildings flashing at nights??

can you tell me how the Westerners lesrn English in Europe? Do the Europeans teach English in English or teach it in their European languages? Can you tell me regarding it?

Hi which months you went? Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing ❤

Informative and true

what a wild story, glad you got your drone back.

7:24 That is 4 times earth's population

I am a white American. Last year got a retiree visa to a small, upper middle income, island nation where I am a minority. It's not perfect but is much safer, much cheaper, and much freer. And NOT weird. There is not as many super rich people, but not as many super poor people either. My wife and I enjoy the peace of mind. We stay part of the year.

Say what you like, Americans treat Chinese 100x worse than Chinese treat Americans. Another thing, ABCs are different from Chinese in Asia, not all but most are brainwashed Western mentality. I view them as a disgrace to their ancestors 😅.

South Africa have a high unemployment rate more especial for graduates so people see teaching English in foreign Countries as the best option though we are in 2024

The staring in this part of the world is nothing like I have ever seen before in my life.

A fun part of traveling is not knowing what awaits you. Go with the flow and see what happens. Great video and a great journey you are on. Thanks you for sharing.

Thnx Jessica, your videos are very insightful for my preparations to go there. Gonna go there alone for holiday, 2 weeks. You know if there are any House/Techno Clubs there?

Microsoft Mail & stuff work

We just came back from Chongqing, such a vibrant city, love it❤

Thanks so much for the video! What ticket did you buy in order to have access for several days and on what platform did you buy it? WeChat? Appreciate the answer!!

Who is konw to “热得扣卡”?

Hello Jessica! Loved your video. I'm planning on visitting Chongqing next year and who knows, probably staying there. I just started studying chinese but of course I have a very long way ahead till I can feel like I'm anywhere near fluent in it. I wanted to ask you - how much of a requirement would you say it is to have some certain level of chinese in order to stay there with a working visa for at least a year? I know some other more international destinations in China like Beijing or Shanghai would make it easier without being able to speak chinese but Chongqing and Chengdu areas have been my dreamed destination for so long now. And if I'm allowed a little last question, how hard would you say it is to find a job as a foreigner in Chongqing? 谢谢姐姐 Keep up the great content!!

That's an amazing place, thanks for the great video. TB has been a major public health problem in China, and Chinese communities. The whole stop spitting campaign targeted that, and dropped the death rates from TB significantly.

I love that you provided visual examples of everything you were explaining to us. This is great work. Thanks for sharing!

This was very informative. Thanks for posting!

I'm thinking about visiting Chongqing to visit some friends and to learn the language some more, and I'm so glad I stumbled across your account! I've been slowly watching through all your videos and loving them so much :) you give such a lovely vibe and the idea of traveling there feels so much less daunting with these videos! I'm an anxious traveller and I like to know my routes and how to get places as much as I can before traveling, and Chongqing seems like a nightmare for my fastidious dedication to knowing my surroundings with it's landscape, but your videos make it seem so much fun and interesting, so I can't wait to visit! Thank you so much!

*36:07** HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA*
