Be very careful about what your expectations are. Avoid big cities. I found it very hard to get by in Shanghai on 20,000 Renminbi a month. I see ads for teachers getting 3-4,000 RMB a month. That’ll only get you about 40 pints of Guinness a month.

Can you give some more info on this please? 20k RMB is about 85k - 90k TWD. Was just a big shock that you said you had trouble living on that in Shanghai, but I’ve never been to Shanghai so might explain why I’m shocked coz I know so little.
