Cost of living in China: Cheap!

[@maphro]

my mate had a similar "milk" to that and he spilt it on his coffee table, when he went to clean it up he also wiped off the varnish off the table..I was there

[@87gnas]

Hey Kevin, a big thank you for this upload. I'm a final year Physics major from the UK. This is the first video I've found with a sense of someone who has shopped around and made a logical decision. Most people seem afraid of living beyond the immediacy of the inner city and pay a premium for it. Unsurprisingly as it's still comparatively cheap compared to UK US etcetera.

[@HardIsEasy]

Very informative video, thanks! We have spend some time in Smaller though very beautiful city called Yangshuo and also summarised it up. Seems like smaller towns are cheaper to live in and have a bigger variety of fresh food.

[@coletanner5193]

This is a useful informative video for someone thinking of moving to Bejing. Those hand size walnut milk packages are $.35. That's not cheap relative to a gal of milk being $3.25 to $3.70 in America. I'm surprised they don't even sell milk in volume, but in a box full of packages..seems over packaged.

[@canucksinchina735]

Your best bet is to contact a teacher who is at the school you are interested in and talk to them. Every city has a different pay rate and cost of living and cultural experience. I am in Shanxi Province and we're always hiring... just do your homework before you go and you should be fine, I came with my daughter.,.

[@bryang3443]

this is the video with the best Like:dislike ratio. Congrats!

[@tobiasburmester2556]

Finding an apartment in BJ for 3000 RMB per month is not possible anymore in 2018... Depending on the location and the quality of your apartment you will have to pay at least 4200 for a one bedroom apt and at least 6000 for a 2 bedroom apt

[@tobiasburmester2556]

dominic k The market in China is completely different from markets in Europe. However, I agree with you, if you live outside the 5th ring there might be some cheaper apartments, but if you want access to the metro and want to be in the city centre in a reasonable time, you will have to pay more.

[@otakukj]

Tobias Burmester I can assure you what he said is true. I used to live in yizhuang also I paid 2700 per month for a 63 square meter apartment. Yea it's far from downtown but it's possible, that's the point

[@manofqwerty]

Why was that milk not refrigerated?

[@akibowman4355]

Can you speak louder and what is it in dollars total?

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I would like to try Walnut Milk. If I lived there I could not read the food labels so shopping would be hard!

[@DeusSalis]

Cooking Lessons for Dad I'm in Canada and I buy walnut milk all the time lmao

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I will have to look for it!

[@DeusSalis]

tastes better though

[@selaw21]

Why does't anyone give the conversion rate in USD or EURO.

[@bobevans9996]

1us=7rmb

[@rqz6367]

当外国人认为你的国家cheap时，应该高兴还是担忧。

[@DeusSalis]

Huh?

[@texxitexxi6099]

RunQ Z 人家说是花费。。。。懂不懂?

[@pururin652]

Hi there 但是我觉得确实这个标题很不合适 因为生活水准非常低的话在哪里都可以cheap

[@spectrum8220]

Nihao! This video is nice just like you bro. Can you please tell me? IS there any way to study Chinese in China on scholarship? what is the eligiblity criteria for an English teacher there? (For Foreigner). Xiexie.

[@rashidrealestatedubai2892]

Hellow. I want to come for study in China. I want to study business in china . I need information about scholarships, expenses, accomodation, climate culture etc Please share . Thanks

[@sanamnesrine8251]

me too i want to know how much its cost to study in china .nd what is the cheapest university in china including the fees

[@chrissabre1761]

So why are you on this video ? Its about teaching, NOT studying

[@kenyup5424]

I believe it's impossible to rent in such price now

[@otakukj]

Ken Yup not where he said in yizhuang it's not

[@mark4553]

It really depends on which city you live in....

[@JoseRodriguez-lq3gu]

I am taking a contract with Sea Dragon for 10,0000 RMB per month + 4,000 housing allowance. Will this amount allow me to save money while living comfortably in Beijing?

[@no_tread_]

depends what you compare it to... Probably compare it to a 50k a year job here with the same size apartment the guy has there.

[@maphro]

I think the salary is 10,000 not 10,0000 as a foreigner you will blow through that if you like to go out and go to bars etc

[@MJ-uh8ko]

100k rmb one month??u can live Perfectly everywhere in the world,who in europe can averagely earn 13k euros a month??

[@zakimaano7186]

have you ever heard about changsha what about it plz

[@marvinpanda]

Changsha is one of the best cities in China. It has fancy food (a little bit spicy) and beautiful tourism places.

[@latina1700]

hi there!do they have almond milk?

[@chinadollfmd]

That is not realistic paying $3,000 rmb a month, you got lucky. With rampant inflation, that is now rare.

[@shenzhenwholesale]

Niki L Its very normal.

[@marcosdomingos2633]

hey there. I got a job offer to work in Harbin, they offer me 4000RMB/month. is that enough to pay the rent and everything?

[@goodteachersunion5737]

Hi Marcos, Harbin has lower salaries and cost of living than places like Beijing and Shanghai. However, 4000 a month is pretty low. If they are offering to pay for your rent, 4000 a month is plenty for food and etc (although you won't have tons left over). If they're not covering rent, you should ask for more. If you're looking for higher paying jobs, contact Sophia at [e-mail]!

[@aguilar82082]

That's a ridicules amount! I work in a small city( to their standards) and I get 8000rmb, plus free housing... for only 18 teaching hours.

[@Anabellw0w]

Wow. That's really low I think! I would say lowest I would ever go would be 6000RMB!

[@weizhang2834]

Harbin is one of cheapest city in China . And some college give you free apartment

[@Anabellw0w]

Oh wow, I'm so glad I stumbled across your video! I'm really wanting to find a job in China but I'm way too scared to apply through most websites as they just don't seem legitimate. I don't want to turn up to China and I'm being kidnapped or something. I'm curious about one thing! Including housing, utilities and food, it seems like it's less than 5000RMB per month? Am I correct in thinking that?

[@roxy.nickiedwards8252]

OMG army's everywhere haha

[@Anabellw0w]

roxy.nicki edwards hahahahahaha just trying to find out more info about China and I still find other army's! Hi! 😀

[@canucksinchina735]

It would depend where you are living and who your contract is with. The school pays most of my expenses, I only have my cellphone and electricity (115¥ per month for both) the rest is covered. When I came, I bought a return ticket just in case... lol FYI a year later, my family is still in contact with me and I'm still alive lol

[@Davenport1949]

Is your apartment far from your working place?

[@goodteachersunion5737]

Usually you can always find an apartment near your working place. Most cities in China have excellent public transportation to get you places fast and cheap.

[@jessieyang5495]

LOL, dude, really? that cheap? You must be kidding. I live in Shanghai, it's just not as your saying. Maybe Shanghai is different from Beijing.

[@malikaljaan-daies1780]

jessie yang shanghai is actually ranked higher on cost of living then Beijing. Beijing has less expatriates thus making housing a tad cheaper.

[@jessieyang5495]

I haven't lived in Beijing, so I only know the situation in Shanghai. Thank you for your information.

[@perezcpt]

Great video, but Im gonna level you, you need to change the music.. haha

[@jimikivilompolo6266]

GOD!!! 2000 yean a month is it true 16 euro (17 us dollars) a month?!?!?! really!!!

[@shenzhenwholesale]

Jimi Kivilompolo 2000 Chinese Yuan, not Japanese Yen.

[@jiyongjie6110]

Jimi Kivilompolo 3000RMB ≈ 440USD

[@pururin652]

that depends on where you live and how you live your life. There's no way you can make it for 2000RMB per month in Shanghai.

[@lokeymexican]

I've been emailing with a recruiter from this company. Just doing some research and checking to see if this company is legit because I also have ran into some horror stories.

[@pedrogutierrez2340]

hi

[@goodteachersunion5737]

Ni hao. 你好。

[@johndoh5516]

all teacher s same age? none older?

[@chinadollfmd]

You also forgot to mention how much counterfeit foods is available in China. What you see is not always what you buy when it is cheap.

[@hanchen3932]

你好

[@spectrum8220]

ni hui shuo yingyu ma?

[@moonchild708]

Hassam Waheed if you get the chinese keyboard on your phone, it converts the pinyin to characters.

[@selaw21]

Don't do videos on cost of living, if you're not giving the conversion rate. DUH!

[@bobevans9996]

1us $=7rmb chinese yuan

[@jimikivilompolo6266]

can you speak chinese?

[@no_tread_]

I couldn't imagine needing to use a VPN for internet. Then I would also always be freeked out watching my back.

[@CarrotGarlic]

CLG !! :p

[@chrissabre1761]

Sooooooooo his lazy company got him over their to work and make money off of him , but didnt help him find an apartment. Hmm, sad. 3:20 even locals dont trust the local milk production, they try to get it from Hong Kong. Buy lots of water, haha. Cheap food prices ...yes for JUNK FOOD, but I do hope you enjoy it there.

[@chigasaki06]
