| hi really blessed by your blog because there are so much information here. i'm considering a job offer at dong hua university, i think it is near to ikea. is there any reasonably good housing around that area? i'm bringing my wife, who will be stay home mum and <1yr old son, and we're asian and more than happy to localise ourselves there. any idea about the price of a 1bedroom apartment/condo there? about 12-15 years old building maybe? if we're going to cook for the whole part of the stay (accept weekends and festive occasions), do you think there'll be significant increase in our gas bills? you mentioned 200rmb for electricity, do you have air conditioning on during the whole part of summer and heater for some part of winter? it's a big decision for us because we're a young family unit... i'm (only?/already?) 29. haha. what are your thoughts? do you have friends who worked as lecturer in shanghai? how much is the pay for a master graduate? sorry for all these questions. would really appreciate if you can help me on this. would be great to meet up with you if i accept the job offer. many thanks! cheers matthias |
