Same. I don’t plan to leave for a few years though.

Duuuuuuude!!! Thats so true!!

@@Chem2011 how's it going?

so what? if you didn't go to Shanghai you might still doing some stupid work in your own country,at least you living Shanghai you feel special because you look different and Chinese people are respectful to you,don't tell me you didn't like that feeling. Whatever any place you go you are still you if you want to be success then work on it.

What's your way out? lol

Keven Keppi haha I’m pretty happy to be trapped. I’m newer though so my Mandarin is awful.

🤔🤔

I’m going for my first year in Bangkok. I’m always afraid about going back home. No retirement fund or plan..

@@aliyahdel2721 I went to Thailand three times. I think it is a great country and I love it. I wonder if I could live there after I retire.

2024 Still happy?

Ninh Nguyen Why wouldn’t it be true? Many have done that so it is nothing new.

What did you do to be arrested?

@Ninh Nguyen metaphor my friend. metaphor.

@@jiebu2763 Metaphor my friend, metaphor

15 here

😂

Does teaching English in China pay enough though?

Ivar Losna Google It.

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj Nope, that won't give a proper answer.

The truth of this comment ... holy shot

jeez man... take some online courses or something. Heading home sounds depressing as shit...

but Too tiny ;)

Same thought man!)))

Daniel Kwan Just curious. Is Shanghai really great? I’ve never been anywhere else in China besides Beijing and Xinjiang :(

Nathan James It’s great. And then it’s awful. And then you come to terms with life and it’s great again.

Daniel Kwan How did you manage to stay for so long?

Trinh Nguyen 饿了么 and 淘宝

Daniel Kwan Really?

Great interpretation.

Your name looks like it may have been inseminated in Canada, are you over there teaching Canadian French and hunting beaver pelts?

@@Dobermanator Wohoho, cool it down so intense.

Is that you at 4:40?

Dobermanator what’s the problem with another person, who’s not from an English speaking country, watching videos on KZfaq? What’s your deal, dude?

@@Alessariel Clam down woman. If you watch regularly you would know there appears a Canadian Character with a Russian (at least heavy Eastern European) accent. Nothing I've said in any way shape or form is or can be considered negative. Maybe you should do some more homework, maybe even ESL.

I hate that many of you foreigners in China are acting like China did something bad to you all and you're the victims when its actually the other way around. I bet lots of you foreign English teachers dont even know how many parts of speech there are in the English languange. However, you are still getting 15000RMB per month or above with decent accomodation so easily in my country. You guys really should shut the f*ck up and learn how to appreciate the hospitality and kindness of Chinese people. Did anyone place a knife on your neck and force you to stay in China? Stop acting like you all are too good to be English teachers. You cant' even teach if I have to be honest!!!

@@vervainfree7564 They're joking, not actually insulting china. It's exaggerated, and actually more of compliment. If they really hated it, why would they stay longer? It's self-deprecating more than an insult to china because they're mocking themselves for not carrying out all of the plans that they initially had when they arrived.

Alice Yan Stop copy and paste these hateful comments here, geez. People who are really making hateful comments about China are all gathered at CNN, BBC’s videos. Why don’t take your arguments there?

Are you a fellow DE inmate? My contract's about to end and it's like they made this video for me ahah... luckily my plane ticket is booked so no backing out now.

SyncVenn Where are you returning to? The US or some other country? Did you have the option to renew your contract? How long did you stay?

Trinh Nguyen Yes I had the option to renew but did not. I'm from the US. I stayed two years.

@@vennsync8480 I'm not sure what DE is, but I've been teaching in Dalian.

SyncVenn Really? I thought they forced you to leave after 1-2 years. Thanks for the info and why did you return to the US so soon?

Cameraman im already drinking after work, but im Australian. haha.

S P lol

Yes, yes you did

Laura Benitez I was thinking the same.

LOL I know you peeking duck

Erwin Hu LUL

hahaha damn, that must wake you up at night

Dobermanator Me!

Because China is not as multicultural as U.S. Some of the Chinese haven't seen any other races in their whole life.

Big city like Shanghai now won't have the starring problem. Umm, things would be better when people get used to foreign faces.

Lol I really don’t notice the stares anymore by now actually

Chen Wang lol Yep. Know that. Still uncomfortable, still not polite 🤷🏾‍♀️

Jie Bu agreed!

Actually, we train doctors.

@@Mamahuhu ahaha, saucy! I wouldn't understand your satire if I hadn't literally JUST came across the channel of that jewish guy. how odd!

Ahmed Alkohlani How did you manage to stay so long? Did you teach at the same school or did you change schools?

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I for sure changed a few schools, but for the first 5 years i was getting my bachelors degree full time and teaching part time, i guess that was the main reason i stayed this long.

@@a.kohlani0405 can you get a teaching license abroad? People who actually stay and are not worried about their future get them. Find work in international schools that are legit.

As long as you are stacking your money, continue on!

quibily Are you teaching and are you working at the same school?

Trinh Nguyen I am a teacher, but ive actually changed schools four times. First year was teaching at a primary school, and I didn't like the job or the city much (Wuhan), and then I worked for a university, but the town felt too cut off from the world. I've been living in the area outside of Chengdu for about five years now. Have taught at two schools in this area. I left the first school because my boyfriend hated working there (not very good staff working with us) and moved to the other university just down the street! I've been at this university for three years.

@@quibily you guys su guys should get teaching license to work at international schools, they are more secure, better pay and benefits.

I hate that many of you foreigners in China are acting like China did something bad to you all and you're the victims when its actually the other way around. I bet lots of you foreign English teachers dont even know how many parts of speech there are in the English languange.

Stop acting like you all are too good to be English teachers. You cant' even teach if I have to be honest!!! Seriously, who forced you to come to my country in the first place???

@@vervainfree7564 have a sense of humor, I am Chinese too, but I get it, because same can happen to a Chinese drifting in a foreign nation too.

It's very interesting isn't it. As for staying in a foreign country, I think there must be more than one aspect which makes it attractive for them and their circumstances. Firstly maybe they find it more interesting than their home country which they grew up in like the guys are talking about in the start of the video 0:36, tjese things are Exciting, friendly and different. As they said, it feels different from growing up in a small town where not much is happening, a city like Shanghai has some natural excitement they find fun. I also feel like that when I visit for a holiday, although I haven't worked there. But I think if teaching job is low hours, maybe life there can feel like a holiday compared to a serious, strict job at home. So I think because they feel different and maybe that the experience in China is more special than the plain simple life at home, they find it attractive. Maybe at home they didn't belong either, don't have such an exciting life, so why not try working and living abroad in China. As for inclusion, true. I think it's hard in any country if you really want to be the same as locals, and really like to be a part of the culture, you have to put a lot of effort. I guess for ESL, it's just a job that which they can do without too much difficulty since they speak English. Plus, they can hang out with other foreigners, teachers. I still wonder if that is enough to be happy. I guess they don't feel they have committed to live there it still is a holiday for them, one day they will go back. Because I think if you choose to live (forever) in another country you want much more, to feel welcomed and a part of that country with the people. Anyway, it's always interesting to talk about this, and I wonder if anyone who's working there like to share their experience, I would also like to hear. Add me on youtube friends if you like to chat youtu.be/addme/1GB7cRXqXXUbEhtTwRaftcbhzmGCzA

@Pandawa glad you enjoyed reading, just my thoughts because I also wondering about what seems like the good life being a teacher over there
