Shenzhen Survival Guide:
I have a Facebook Group which I founded and administer called the
Shenzhen Survival Guide - Secrets & Hints for Expats/Foreigners
The purpose of that Group was to make living in Shenzhen China easier, more familiar, and/or more western for non-chinese speaking people. There are things you learn as you live here that you wish someone would have told you when you moved to Shenzhen or China. That is the goal of the FaceBook Group.

Nor can we order or even tell the people our address. But there are some restaurants which do accommodate English. So there is a post which lists them and submissions are welcome.
Feel homesick for food from your hometown or country? We list the grocery stores which carry foreign food. NoGoGo is an online grocery store which carries lots of the food I used to purchase in America (albeit at several times the price) and they even deliver free of charge. There are posts about that.
Miss your favorite TV shows, we tell you how to view them. You have to both get around Chinese Censorship (as you would to use Facebook or read this Blog), but you also have to trick the broadcaseter into thinking you are located in their country (like theUSA). We explain about VPN services.
Like southern Florida, the heat makes roaches a problem, Unlike the USA, there are no extermination companies, and many of the chemicals used are highly toxic. There is one company which gets rid of your roaches, Shenzhen Exterminating and we tell you how to find them,
