      Hello there!
      I have a question regarding the educational qualification, can a theological student with 5 year course and a TEFL certificate teach in secular institutions?
      By the way, I'm so glad I found your channel. This is going to be a great mentor :))

    Hi Nico! Hope everything is going better now! Loved your video! My boyfriend and I already live in China, but for sure it would have been extremely useful to watch this video before coming here. Talking by my own experience, I never pictured myself being here, specially because I felt very distant to this country and it's culture. Finally it turned out to be the best thing ever happening to me so far. Even my family is far away, I feel like right now I wouldn't like to be anywhere else but this beautiful country.
    I like the positive energy you portray on each of your videos. As a foreigner living in China, I relate a lot to you! Hope we can meet sometime! I've never been to Beijing before, but I am looking forward to it!
    Sending love from Suzhou, Max and Noelia.

      Thanks a lot! I totally agree I think it is really hard to move to a new country especially when there isn't much information out there so I hope it can help others who are thinking about making the move. Showing them it's not as scary as they might think. I agree this journey at times can be really hard especially being away from family but it has been a one that we are very grateful for having. Thank you, that is so kind, we love living here also and try to show all the amazing things that we experience. I hope you get the chance to visit someday and be sure to tell us if you do it is always great to meet fellow TH-camrs!

      I’d love to move to China. You being native Chinese and typing English that’s completely correct when it comes to grammar, just shows how bad our education system is compared to China. US is almost done. The strongest empires like Rome, ottomans, etc don’t last more than 300 or so years. Roman republic lasted longer than empires. Roman Empire only lasted 400 years. US is never going to be the best again.

I’ve travelled the world and China is up there as one of the best places to live and work. The icing on the cake, for me, is the Chinese people themselves. It’s a cliche but I do love China and my life here.

    A very nice video. Love the content! I have to say some extra effort has been put in for the editing. And the editing is top notch as usual. I've seen it improve over a while and frankly the content, beautiful video and editing has me coming back to this channel. Would love to see a video that showcases your gear for 2021 if you've upgraded from your last video. I spied a nice little colour throw LED light behind Nico. Since you are reusing a lot of old clips and footage would be nice if you mention the city each is from in small print for those who don't watch regularly. And since this is the kind of video that will get a lot of views as such, that detail will help. Personally I am curious about 1. what software and hardware you are editing on these days. 2. The camera that the video is shot on. 3. the site you get your music from. 4. How did you learn to edit so well. 5. Is it that easy to just fly a drone and shoot video in China. Also as a best practice segue into sponsorships should come up front. keep up the excellent work :)

We have also been planning a possible second channel which focuses more on all the questions you are asking. How we film/edit etc as we want to share it with you guys and think it could be really useful. We will keep you updated on things but in the next few months we have a few things planned.

      @@PlasticExtrusionProfiles The only problem is India is still occupying a piece of China and refused to give it up. In February 1951, three and a half years after the British have left the subcontinent, India invaded and annexed Tawang, South Tibet and occupy it to this day. Tawang is the Sixth Dalai Lama's birthplace and home to a four hundred years old Tibetan monastery. In 1987 India renamed South Tibet to the so-called Arunachal Pradesh and made it a state. Today South Tibet is restless and a law (called AFSPA Armed Force Special Power Act) is imposed on South Tibet that gives the state the power to detain or kill anyone with impunity. It is a law that meant to suppress dissent. The people in South Tibet never wants to be part of India.

    I am curious about the visa situation, working and staying in China as a foreigner. How often must you leave China? I, as an American, can only stay for 6 months at a time. Say I visit Taiwan or Hong Kong for a week for vacation, then return to Harbin (my wife's home town) and continue to work as an English teacher. Is that a reasonable expectation? Enjoyed your video.

    • @Nicofilms
      @Nicofilms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well, if you qualify for a working visa to teach English you will get a working visa and residence permit for the duration of your contract, so usually a year. You don't need to leave China at all if you have this and can renew it as long as you have a job each year.

    I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships.

    My son teaches and is living with a Chinese citizen close to Shanghai. I am planning to retire to China and be close to my son and his Chinese family. Could you suggest were I should settle. I do not like noise or crowd's. Understandably I live in South Africa. Paul and Xiao are getting married as soon as Paul gets clearance from the South African Embacy. At the moment I cannot go to China as I am South African.

      There are lots of smaller beautiful cities near Shanghai I'm sure you won't have a problem finding somewhere great to live. I bet your husband knows the area better than myself though so I'm sure he will have lots of great advice. Good luck, I hope you get the chance soon.
