Moving to China

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

What part of China? The mainland, or one of the business districts like Hong Kong or Shenzhen?

Do you have a job lined up?

I did own my own business. I shut down my business and was going to open a very large sports performance gym in downtown SLC. My now X-wife and I were going to be business partners. We actually were all set to open up but due to the divorce decided to pull the plug on it. The business loan was in both of our names so I basically dropped the business and since I mostly worked under the table for the last few years I couldnt get a loan in my name. I still have clients though so I have just been sticking to them.

I am actually going over to be the strength and conditioning coach for their Olympic Ski and Snowboarding team.

China’s???

Best,

Yes, I have a job lined up. I am not sure what city yet. Most likely Beijing, Shenzhen, or Shanghai.

Yep, they are dumping a lot of money into the 2022 Winter Olympics. They really want to do well.

Can you speak Mandarin? I'm assuming that will be the predominant language where you'll be. I spent a couple days in Hong Kong but plenty of English speakers there. Might be hard in the mainland. But I suppose you'll be dealing with a lot of educated people who do a lot internationally, so probably plenty of English speakers around.

Cool as hell mang. Grats.

You'd be dumb to take advice from me. Never been to China. But a buddy of mine moved over there and taught English, and he said once he shared and accepted the culture he felt great.

Not sure how it is now, but he was saying how the internet was filtered while he was there (five years ago). A proxy service might be worth looking into if you're bringing your own computer.

That's all I got. But fricking congrats man Have a good time, and get out to see the terrocata warriors. So much detail for so long ago.

So, so awesome. I’ll actually watch the WO and root for your team. Congrats, my brotha.

Yeah, I just bought a new laptop and will definitely get a good VPN on it before I move. That is good advice.

Thanks, ill post which teams/athletes I end up working with. Im a little nervous about but I am excited about the opportunity.

I turned down an intership with the US olympic speed skating team a few years ago and really regretted it. So I am glad I am getting a chance again to work with an Olympic team. This time it pays though!
