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. But as the Group grows, I find that the information is more conducive to a Blog, and perhaps ultimately a book. That is why everything is (C) 2014 David M, Ginsberg, whether as an original work of authorship and/or a compilation.
In any event, each post will try to have a different topic, such as restaurants which deliver but speak English. Those of us who live here know that there are tons of restaurants, and most deliver, and many deliver 24/7/365. But because we don't speak Chinese, we can't avail ourselves to this wonderful feature of Shenzhen. We can't read the menus which are slipped daily under our door. 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,
Feel free to suggest a post or to submit one which you have written.
