22000rmb salary is fine, but you probably will need to spend some of that on rent too. Maybe 5000-7500rmb for rent in SIP. Living expenses 10000rmb including entertainment which will leave you with 8000rmb per month to save in the bank.
Please if anybody can provide advise on these topics and any other topic I might need to be aware of while working in Sozhou would be really appreciated. I could also be contacted directly at my email sa.calin@yahoo.com my name is Charlie. Thank you in advance for your help with this...
