Teaching in China version 3or nuts and bolts

12 million ? :icon_eek:

I have so love struck with Peggy I never looked to see how big city is.  Augusta Georgia area is about .5 million.  Atlanta was too big at 2 million.

Oh well if you are with someone you love and she guides you around.  Who cares! :icon_cheesygrin:

Shaun,

When your talking about ANY Chinese city, you have to think BIG in terms of population. Even Towns can have a population of 2 million plus plus plus, and villages can be in the hundreds of thousands..... haha!!

Shaun,
dont worry about the [population] half of them work so
at any given time there will only be 6 million people on the
street at any given time   hahaha

Shaun , or try ChongQing and its precincts only over 30 million , but I do not know where they all are apart from peak times am and pm it is a very comfortable city , regards Ying and Robert .

also chinese knot  is correct the government has tightened up a little
 on being able to teach here. Guangzhou or maybe Guangdong county
 they need a special certificate. this is all because of the so called
 teachers that come here and dont know how to teach nor do they care.

 they use it for their free ride here

I was surprised by the population bit I think I can handle it.  I am always amazed at how noisy it is when Peggy and I talk.  You can hear a lot of noise from the street.  I get a chuckle because I will comment to Peggy how noisy it is and she will say, it is not noisy.

[ttwjr32]

no they dont think it is noisy nor do they think it is busy
 when i tell my wife i will take the bus instead of subway
 she always will say why? to few people on subway also
  hahahaha but its like playing how many people can you
 fit in the car  i just am getting used to it hahahaha
 now i start to push my way around  hahahaha

Just do not go out on holiday days.  Then at least 10 million will be on the street at the same time.

I cannot believe just how many people were out shopping on New Years day.   I was out with a family shopping party of ten and so was everyone else by the look of it.    

Almost walked home before vacant taxi came along.

holidays are the worst time to be out walking here
 and even double worse if it is raining

[David5o]

That goes for Hong Kong too, but that goes for anytime during the day, not just holidays....It's rush hour there from around 7.30 am to 8.30pm 6 days a week. Nathan Road is an absolute nightmare walking in any direction during those hours...lol!!!

Shaun and willy, Do you feel the walls closing in? No wonder chenyan told me they sell air in a can, are you both shure that there will be enough air to breath, with 10 million sucking it in as fast as they can?  Kind of like being 40 feet down in the water and running out of air in the tank....drowning in a sea of people, elbow to elbow, everyone talking at once, and to think Willy acually found an empty taxi, god willy, I'd have played the lotto that day, cause it was so lucky! Way to many people for me...:s  
Don't fall down, or they pick you up with a dust pan....:icon_cheesygrin:

I did playb the UK lottery that day.  Did not even get a number.  I suppose all my luck that day was actually in finding a taxi

Miss Wu lives in Yichang, which is a city of 4 million people yet barely shows up on a map of China. It didn't feel that crowded though, and the riverfront was deserted even on a beautiful Autumn afternoon.

The boat trip to the 3 gorges was busy though, there were about 300 Chinese (and 1 Westerner) on a boat suitable for 100 :s.

I guess we're used to crowds in the UK, as London is very densely populated (especially the underground!)

China is noisy though which is something to bear in mind if you're thinking of living there - in fact I suspect this applies to all of Asia, as Japan was insanely noisy as well. OK so the traffic is quieter than in China, but instead of horn beeping you get politicans with loudhailers!!!

[ttwjr32]

the horns are always sounding here
