Dilemma *not bragging don't bring butthurt*

Anyone here gone to Guangzhou, China?

I've been asked to go for a 3 month contract there all paid for. The city looks shitty and polluted, my friend who was just there travelling through said it sucked for the 3 days he was there also.

I have a job lined up in Northern Canada which will lead into 50$/h welding.

I think going North will set my future up better? More solid and then I can travel how I want later in life.

50 an hour sounds good although idk what a welding job is like

From what I've heard and seen on liveleak about China, I'd best avoid it unless you're going to the super developed cities. Seems dangerous and gross as fuck.

Come to Canada, eh.

Got a job at a mill, then going to take my schooling and get my welding done.

I don't ever say "eh" I do say sorry though.

Ya My buddy asked his boss whos from china and said it was sketchy as fuck. My agent is still trying South korea, Souel or Japan but I think modelling is more about profit for the agency

Go ask /trv/

I have spent years in china, Shenzhen which is close to Guangzhou. Honestly I love it, but you have to be open to new experiences and a lot of differences. You will get tired of some things, dirty ness, crowds, rude ppl.. Other than that, I miss the food every day. Cheap, tasty and extremely convenient.

Really depends on your living situation too. If you are poor it can be less relaxing but still fun. I lived in a modern condo, luxury shopping everywhere around me. Lots of ppl also have personal drivers and shit like that. The cities are so alive, people and cars everywhere, staying up late. Here in the US it can be boring as fuck because the cities feel so cold and dead... If that makes sense.

Also I might add, Guangzhou is the city where dreamboxes are made... There are plenty of fakes in this area but also tons of high end shopping. Take a train to HK and visit the rick store. It's cool that people actually wear interesting things too and seem to care about appearance. Tailoring is super cheap too, you can pick out fabrics and have custom clothes made. Show them a picture of what you want and make sure to haggle.
