Hmm,

something bad about that is Beijing specific, that's hard.

(a) Dogs over 35cm are not allowed inside the Fifth Ring Road.
(b) It will host the Olympics in August 2008 - anticipated traffic restrictions.

What else:

Wife - Her options in Beijing and Shanghai are similar. Beijing has the advantage of the very newly established English language hub of activities for trailing spouses called INSPIRED.

3 bedroom flat, prices can range from as low as 6,000RMB up to about 60,000RMB. The price will depend upon location, age of property, location, maintenance quality, location, available facilities and of course location. If need be I can recommend a reputable Estate Agent.

The drinking culture is true for all China. Arguably the worst place is Inner Mongolia. Beijing, is used to foreigners and you do not have to sacrifice your liver unless you really want to.

Does anyone know of a good design school or a university that has a good design program in Beijing or just China in general? If you know of a private teacher who is good, then that would be awesome! Oh, I forgot to mention that it is graphic design - photoshop, indesign, illustrator, etc. Thank you!

Time is flying!
10 months since I posted this thread...
Well we are now settled down in Beijing, since February. I have been very busy for the first few months as anybody relocating with family and kids can imagine, but I will try to spend more time on these forums nowadays.
Since I was mod back in KL, I will try to delete the spams which fill the forums and will try to get more people to come around here.

See you around!
