Sellar

I'm considering moving to Shanghai, so I was hoping maybe someone here could provide me with some answers to help me make a decision.

I currently have a decent job with OK pay, low stress, no overtime, 6 weeks vacation, but due to my girlfriend having to move back home I have started looking into the possibility of working in Shanghai. The problem is that I have no idea how feasible it would be for me to actually find a job and what kind of working conditions I would experience.

About me:

• Master's degree in engineering
• 3 years of industry (engineering/software) experience, but the experience is probably no directly related to what I would be working with in a new job.
• Looking fo

I want to recommend this show. It is a variety show where the cast plays different roles in a murder mystery and the goal is for them to uncover who among them is lying and commited the murder. Each episode has its own theme or setting, e.g. that last one I saw was set on the Titanic and the love triangle between Jack, Rose and the other guy was a part of it.

It's entertaining and contains lots of banter, which is nice from a language learning perspective. All episodes can be seen for free at youtube and here's the newest one which takes place at a magical school a la Hogwarts.

I haven't seen this show mentioned here so I figured I would make a post recommending it.

It a Chinese historical drama, but with a SciFi twist where the main character is an alien stuck on Earth. What I really appreciate about it is that it is light-hearted and funny. I find most Chinese shows to be too serious or melodramatic, but this one is a joy to watch.

Is there anyone else here that have watched it?

Found a podcast I would like to recommend to everybody: 新闻酸菜馆. Each episode is a 1 hour discussion about a specific topic between the two hosts and usually an interviewee.

Lots of interesting subjects like birth tourism to America or the end of the world/rapture.

I'm currently watching Nirvana in Fire, and I have a few questions regarding the quasi-Classical Chinese (don't know how to accurately describe it) they speak in dramas like this.

How difficult is it to understand for native speakers when compared to a contemporary tv-show? Both with and without subtitles. Would any 12 year old be able to understand it?

What kind of feeling does this kind of language give? Any English examples that you can compare it to? Listening to "Shakespearean English"?
