As an expat living in China<\/a>, you are experiencing new culture, new languages, a new currency, new food, and a new environment\u2026 On your first day, it may seem that you\u2019ve landed on a different planet, and imagine if no-one is here to help, and you\u2019re feeling completely lost \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It must be tough to rent an apartment, wrestle with your property agent or your landlord, pay the rent and utility bills?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How \u201cmafan<\/em>\u201d it is to order a Big Mac from McDonald\u2019s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it difficult to communicate with a taxi driver to tell him your destination? Getting a taxi in the rain or during rush hour is simply mission-impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How complicated is it to transfer money to a friend in Beijing if you’re in Shanghai? We all know that going to the banks and queuing for hours is an awful, awful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How tiresome is it to go to an ATM every time you need cash?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you top-up your mobile phone late at night when all the convenience stores nearby are closed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, I guess you must be also very jealous to see how all your Chinese friends shop hassle-free online\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
