[quote=GUEST83570,432518]I am looking for someone that has first hand experience living in Dalian China because Im dealing with a challenging situation with my uncle who has been residing in Dalian for about a year now (Zhongshan district). He is married to a Chinese citizen and I believe their son (only one child) also has a chinese passport. The reason for my inquiry is that my uncle is constantly asking my family in Canada to send him money to support him and his family. He speaks perfect english but doesn't know Chinese and says that its very difficult for him to find work in Dalian. What I'd like to find out is what would the monthly expenses of a family of 3 be in Dalian (rent, food, transportation, etc.). Im also wondering how easy is it for a westerner who speaks english to find work opportunities there as Im not sure if my uncle is really trying hard enough or not. He has also said that you need a special teaching degree to get a job teaching english which he does not have (I believe he only has a high school diploma). My uncle has also said that his son is not eligible for public schools because the father is not chinese (my uncle says the authorities go by father's nationality, regardless what the nationality of the son is) and that he has to send him to private school and that private english schools in China cost about $2000-3000/yr in tuition. Does anyone have any experience with private school tuitions and if so, does that sound reasonable? I would really appreciate any info on the above questions, thanks[/quote]
