I'm really interested to know if you've been over there though to work? Specifically Tianjin. no! im office based in germany and we have a shanghai office so i'd probably never get to go there, big place I think, port city with a lot of traffic for Beijing, from what I can remember about studying Chinese construction for my dissertation its got some sort of status from the government for development, they're trying to replicate the power of the river deltas from the south (shanghai/Suzhou/Hangzhou and then Guangzhou/Shenzhen) hot summers and cold winters but not as much snow as elsewhere in the region got a friend who moved to Nanjing 2 years ago as one of these assistant English teachers, I don't think he'll ever come back, I liked china but couldn't see myself living there, I'll say the spitting is the cherry on the top, im not convinced I could cope with the people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot harder and more involved than it looks, even on a little 50cc automatic scooter. Im proper proud of myself but my family dont really care about it . Great fun though. Highly recommended. It's just me, isn't it? I can never see that and not immediately think c**k and ball torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I passed an interview at tesco yesterday to be a delivery driver, now I have to go back Wednesday to do a driving assessment I've driven big vans before so that's not an issue, but I'll be doing this test in an automatic, never drove one before How difficult is it to switch from manual to automatic? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
