Ex-pat life in Guangzhou?
I’m considering taking a teaching job in Guangzhou next semester and as I’m coming from a small city in Jiangsu (by chinese standards at least 1 million people). I’m a city dweller, I need night life. Are there bars, or what you British and Aussies would call pubs? None of this Chinese disco crap (which can be fun after a lot of baijiu) but real bars that you can just sit down have a beer and maybe play some pool. They’re abundant in Shanghai and Beijing so I’ve got high hopes for Guangzhou. How about foreign food, not that I don’t love Chinese food, but I miss Thai and Italian. I’d be living in the Haizhu (at the Guangdong University of business studies), any info there? What’s the lao wai population like? high/low? old/young? and just overall how do you like it? I’ve done the “real china” for a year now I’m ready for modern china. thanks!
I think the answers to all of your questions can be found in the free local expat rags around GZ. I’ve posted a few links below.
I think Shenzhen and GZ will certainly offer you a taste of “modern” China, especially in the nightlife and dining scene. Both cities have huge expat communities, especially in the multinational set (Africans just might be the largest and most cohesive expat community in Guangdong).
And your extreme proximity to Hong Kong and Macau makes for a never-dull weekend, and is probably the best part about living in GZ.
Have fun!
