Hi there,
Any information you could give me about living in Beijing would be of great assistance.
I've just had the bombshell dropped that I need to relocate to Beijing in 2 months with my husband & 6yr old son. I currently live in Shanghai & I never envisioned myself living in China full stop!
However I thought a change might be good, glass half full etc... So I've now been living in Shanghai for the past 18 months & was just starting to settle, managed to get my son into a lovely school, generally feeling comfortable here, which is something I never thought would be the case. So I feel (quite selfishly) that this is the worst thing ever & have always believed that I would not be able to hack it in Beijing, at least Shanghai was quite modern & westernized, am I wrong here?
My husband believes that this move would be good for him work wise & I do not want to ruin that, but I've already sacrificed a lot moving to Shanghai & now this.
So, realistically I'm caught between a rock & a hard place! Ok, so it's not the end of the world - I'm just having a rant, which is now over!
The location we'd be moving to is Dongsanhuan Bei Rd, Chaoyang District: I would like to know, firstly International School's close by (british one's), nice apartment complex but not too pricey, accessibility to shopping etc.. If there is anything else you can add or give me insight into then I'd really appreciate it!
Thank you
