What's the average rent per month
Is it true that it's difficult to hook up with local single women there?
Thanks!
It's just work,eat,sleep,repeat.
In the district I live I have plenty of kindergartens, both private and public ones, and the price vary from 650-800 (the cheapest one AND the public) to 2500 (like "all-is-there-primium-clildcare) yuan per month (full day, 7am-5pm, 3 meals). For 3500-4000 an agency can find a babysitter for you (again,full day, and optionally she will cook and clean). So 12k per month as an AVERAGE price? you gotta be kidding. I am in GZ, not in SZ, but average price is similar now, according to this site...
