New apartment

NO MOLD: need to maintain this. Need a dehumidifier, and humidity gauge for the apartment.

It is 86 sq feet, in a gates community, with mud room, pavement patio as well as garden area which I think was supposed to be paved but they just never did lol

High level security, furnished with a 43 inch TV

They wanted 2500 RMB a month with hearing but since the neighbours have heat and the apartment is well insulated, it's no biggie meaning it has come down to 2300 a month, now I need to get internet for the year which may be a but of a hassle. 

They didn't have a bottles water dispenser however, I can find one that works and roll with that then I can continue getting water from the Maple Leaf water guy or whatever :) 

They have a ton of dry food storage space meaning I can stock up and they have a huge clean cooking area, omg! This is going to be a huge project :) so pumped and this will certainly keep me busy :)

The big thing for me is the lighting of the place, even in the bathroom.

It's funny that back home these are all essentials but here, it's all luxury. 

This is my first real "place" on my own, excited and so nervous, this is another experience in life. Ready?

Want to laugh? Everything from my current place, maybe two boxes and three suitcases lol Ohyah, big time couldn't get comfortable in there.

I'll post pictures and more details but if this place is as promising as it seems, this is going to be a beautiful year.

Cheers!

Income Tax for Foriegners

To begin this, I'll sum up that if you are not necessarily interested in my own personal outlooks and views on things this is what you would like to see and get assitance with if you are an Expat in China who has no idea of how taxation works. http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2015/01/28/paying-foreign-employees-individual-income-tax.html For those of you who appreciate and looked forward to my "Feihua", here it is. I have been in China for four years now, just when I think I understand how things work-I'm wrong (or it changed). Regardless of what it is when you read this, it is this for the time being. Realistically it is not as bad as one may think it to be when comparing the tax process from here to other places such as in the Middle East. Again, the view is from an outsider of that culture and expat community, however it still seems to be a relatively  conversed and ranging topic of positives and negatives. The tax system in China has its benefits as wel...

大黑山 Big Black Mountain Hike (2014)

Smoggy day :( could be better but I have been trying to do this for far to long and I currently have the opportunity to do so. Seizing the day. Origin point jinshitan, qinggui to kaifaqu. Stopped in kaifaqu, heading to tong shi tai, it is the first stop of the smaller line that stems from kaifaqu station. When getting off the train in kaifaqu, walk to the railway to your right that has the next station sign pointing in the direction your train came from. Get on train. Get off the train and head down stairs, exit off the same way you entered the train. Once you punch out of the station, exit the right side of the building onto dongbei road, a short distance to your left you will see a curve I to the next street which is______ road, go down that road _____ a short distance ahead you will see a hard to notice bus stop, jump onto bus 4, take it till they kick you off. After you get kicked off you will be confused and around what looks to be a street market. Lots of places to get food and w...

Five countries, Four Weeks Pt.6 "Koh Phi Phi-Bangkok"

Koh Phi Phi was indeed a beautiful island, right from the moment we stepped off  the boat  till the second we got back on to leave. Again, everyone seems to be asking for a dollar here, a dollar there. It becomes regular yet annoying. The island itself is very small but so incredibly easy to get lost on. Every back alley takes you to the same main bays but how far down the bays you are is the tricky part of figuring out your location. We stayed at a shady looking guesthouse called “Oasis Guesthouse” which was not too expensive but certainly didn’t seem all that secure considering the windows were just glass panes and there seemed to be a gecko or two which were always running around. Kyle and I roomed together while Jesse and Krista were sharing a room. I mostly remember from the time spent in that room, Kyle telling me again and again “rather have geckos than anything else…” I looked at him as if he was getting ill. He continued to explain that geckos are two things, faster ...
