Moving to Guangzhou

Tim,

I'm new to GZ but I like it thus far...except for the apartment hunters/scammers service.  The food is the biggest surprise for me thus far (amazing!), but there aren't very many english speaking chinese people, which is making it tough. 

It's funny that you state your income on a forum, but if you're ok with that then so am I.  Something tells me that that's just a ball park figure anyways. 

Taking into consideration a US conversion rate, you're looking at about $1200/month, which is really up to you to decide if that's good enough, but it seems like you're young and it would be a good experience to just be here anyways.  Things are about 30% cheaper for me and there's no tax so that's a bonus!

Don't know enough about this place to comment further, but I'll know better after at least one drunken bar hopping night.

Ahhh i luv Christina Aguilera, Rihanna n Beyonce:cool: They're the queens to me hah!
Plus ur salary is pretty decent here as most of graduates' r much lower than yours.. So no worry about it.

thanks for the info it was defenitly helpful, i dont mind stating the income cause i am trying to figure out the cost of living in the city. I know enough chinese that i wont be completely lost upon arrival but ill def be learning while i am there. Hearing about amazing food is an added bonus for me i am a food fanatic. please feel free to let me know how the night life is after a couple drunken nights

thanks,

tim

Hi, Tim~
i was born and raised in Guangzhou. i love Guangzhou. and i hope everyone comes here would like it too.
living in guangzhou won't cost you too much, it's enough to keep you having comfortable and wonderful life for 5,000 rmb income. i have a house for lease, but it seems it's too big for a single guy to rent. no worry about house, it's easy to find a fit house in guangzhou.
if you need any more information or tips about Guangzhou, please feel free to send me an e-mail/MSN: [email protected]

hope you enjoy the life in Guangzhou~!
