China Living Tips -
Housing & Finance
|
For many years, Chinese government policy was to separate foreigners from the local population by making them live in specially designated and segregated properties. Today, however, expatriates can live in, rent or even purchase housing in China on the same terms as the Chinese. Housing options in China include apartments, dormitories, villas (houses), serviced apartments and hotels.
Many foreigners in China live on a school campus. English teachers are given apartments on the campus; foreign students normally live in a dormitory.
If you want to immerse yourself into Chinese culture and quickly learn Chinese, you should consider renting a room in someone else’s apartment or a shared flat. You can find ads from people looking for flatmates on Chinese housing websites or in English magazines.You will also sometimes find an ad from a Chinese family or individual who desires to live with a native English-speaker and will provide a free room in exchange for language practice.

As a national key university under the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) aimed at cutting-edge science and technology research and sci-tech based management and humanity studies, USTC was founded in September 1958 in Beijing and chaired by CAS president Guo Moruo. In 1970, it moved to Hefei, Anhui province. As the only university attached to the CAS, USTC fully mobilized its departments to strengthen their ties with CAS research institutes and equipped the devoted hard-working students with a profound theoretical foundation as well as practical techniques. In 1959, the university was included on the list of the 16 national key universities and became the youngest key university in China.

I joined WorldFriends Networks to look for friends … instead I found the man of my destiny
Saori(Kobe, Japan) and David(Montreal, Canada)
Soon after I registered for World Friends at the end of 2005, David sent me a smile and an email. As he was very nice looking, I replied to his email. But in fact, I did not feel so confident in English. So I studied English and with the help of an English dictionary, I continued to communicate with him. He visited me in Japan for three weeks in April 2006 and we became very close and felt so strongly for each other.
In July 2006, I visited him in Canada and met his family for the first time. The trip was so eventful and wonderful. In November, he proposed to me and now I am living in Canada with him learning to become a good house wife. We plan to go to Japan in May and get married.
