Venice, the Circle of Life

Venice, the Circle of Life Spending much of my earlier life in Venice, California, looking back at it, I have become curious about how and where this whole Venice Italy in Los Angeles thing came from? I watched as the old oil wells on the beach and the worn broken Pilings from piers that have long been gone were removed and cleaned up. As children we watched as a new modern Pier was being built right at the end of our street, it was pretty cool. It was great being the first kids to dive off the end of it long before it ever opened up to the public. And long before we could have been arrested for jumping off of it! We lived in Venice because it was very cheap back then and we were immigrants with little money. It was a pretty rough place, back in the day. As kids we took pride in the fact that folks from other areas didn’t come here at night. We watched it turn from beatniks, to hippies, to yuppies, and finally now the very well to do. Consequently most of us were slowly pushed out to make way for the money   people. But man it was a great place to grow up, if you didn’t mind a fight now and again. We built rafts and would play pirates along the canals with homemade boats that sometimes sank into the, now stinky water. As we got older we became a part of the scene on the beach, lots of free concerts, the Doors, Chambers Brothers, you name it, twas a happening place alright. Heck we even had our own chapter of the Hells Angeles, so you know we were “on”. Enough of memory lane, how did Venice as it is now and has been for so long become, this unusual place? A good place to start would be to mention a street in Venice that runs through the northern part of town. The street was called West Washington Blvd and split off from Washington Blvd, one of the main boulevard’s that traverse Los Angeles through down town all the way to the ocean.   You won’t find West Washington Blvd now because some years ago the name was changed to Abbot Kinney. Historical societies say, he was the founder of Venice, California which at that time was called Ocean Park. Interestingly enough there is a portion of the city of Santa Monica, adjacent to Venice that is known as the Ocean Park neighborhood today. One of the stories about this Abbot Kinney guy was that he went through some trouble with past business partners and eventually had become one of five partners of this, very mundane and unattractive parcel of beach adjacent property, along with some much nicer grounds along the coast in 1904. The story goes that Mr. Kinny made a deal with his partners on the flip of a coin.   Kinney won the toss and got to pick first on which parcel of land he would take. Most said Kinney lost, as he chose the barren marsh land of Ocean Park. When he said this area would soon be known as a cultural city patterned after Venice, Italy, the public laughed and dubbed it “Kinney’s Folly”. By 1905 Venice-of-America officially opened with a beautiful pier and electric trolley cars running along the boardwalk. Kinney decided the canals he built to drain part of the Ballona wetlands (on which he built his real estate project) reminded him of Venice Italy, so he bought gondolas and hired Italian gondoliers to highlight his new beach resort as a tourist attraction. He added exotic hotels, Camel rides and a miniature railroad that circled the entire sight. Venice was an independent city up until 1925 when the voters chose to consolidate politically with the city of Los Angeles and the self-destruction of Venice began. The canals were filled with dirt and became streets about 1930. The amusement parks and other entertainment attractions were closed down. The final destruction of this playground for the well to do was snuffed out by the enforcement of prohibition. That would kill any party, right? About this time oil was discovered in Venice and oil wells were constructed all over the city. In fact when we moved to Venice in 1960 some of the oil wells were still around pumping away, even on the sandy beaches. When we kids came home from a day of playing in the ocean, we had to have the oil washed off us before we could enter the house.   No wonder we don’t get the flu very often. We have all the chemicals and germs in us to kill just about anything. That would explain a lot about me. The 60s’ was a great time to be a kid here. We had everything that money couldn’t buy. We had Muscle beach, where unknown body building competitors like Arnold something or other was competing in Gold’s Gym.   My kid brother and his friends were doing crazy things on their skate boards, with wheels from roller skates. Horrible wheels too, because when you hit a little rock you were in the air while your skate board stopped right there. Heck they became so well know that a couple movies were made about them. And if you ever wondered why they called it dog town the simple polite answer would be, you better watch where you step or your personal life will begin to  deteriorate from the foul smell on your shoes. We all had dogs and nobody ever picked up after them. This was very much a dog town. If you have ever seen the old “Our Gang and Little Rascals” on television, take a closer look, they were mostly filmed in Venice. Well through all these up’s and downs Venice always had a few celebrities and new thinkers residing in the hood. However as Los Angeles property values continued to rise upwards many of the original residents (including us) were slowly pushed out or tempted by the huge money they could get for their modest house, they sold. The moral of the story here would be that Venice has gone full circle, from the playground for the well to do, to the haven for the have not’s, while culture of art and music blossomed and now currently back to millionaires only in Venice Beach? I look forward to when it’s our turn again.

11 awesome cities where you can teach English in China

11 awesome cities where you can teach English in China Teaching English in China is one of the fastest growing markets for newly-minted TEFL teachers. And that’s with the ESL industry going from strength to strength. Most of us (at the very least) have friends who’ve jetted off to Asia - rarely to be seen again. Some of us are probably already in Asia leading the good life. There’s so much info out there on all the different teach abroad options as an English teacher, and there are plenty of blogs keeping you posted on things like the 12 companies in China that are hiring English teachers like crazy. It’s easy to see why new grads and experienced ESL teachers are flocking there. The requirements are manageable (no need for a teaching license, a TEFL will do) and the salary is good. The question is not should you teach English in China? That’s a no brainer: save money, get experience, see things that will change you, opportunities for career progression and salary increases…sign me up! The question should be - where should I teach English in China? Which of China’s cities has my name written all over it? We know lots about China, but if you’re like I was (before I spent a bazillion hours researching) not that much of it was very specific. Aside from 3 - 4 of the more famous cities, I would have been pretty stumped if I had to figure out where to live. But now I know (CHENGDU! No question, see why below ). I’ve taken the liberty of compiling info on the 12 best places to teach English in China, so you can make your own judgements. You can thank me later. Here we go… 1. Beijing Who will love it: Big city lovers, history nerds, foodies, culture cravers and arty folk Population: 21.7 million (basically 2.5 times bigger than NYC) Language: Mandarin Teaching English salary range: $1,200-4,500 USD per month Fun fact: It’s bicycle heaven with more bikes than even the city of bikes (Amsterdam) Types of ESL jobs: Business English, private academies and public schools Obvious bonus: Proximity to the Great Wall (you might have heard of it) If you want a big city life feel, then things don’t get much bigger than teaching English in Beijing (see Shanghai if you think Beijing feels too pokey). It’s the cultural heart of this country with so much of Ancient China still visible today. History nerds will be in their element wandering through Tiananmen Square, gawping at the Summer Palace, taking a trip to the Great Wall or discover the forbidden city. When you’re not being wowed by history, there are enough restaurants to leave you paralyzed by choice. The traditional crispy duck has been compared to divine intervention (FACT!). Accommodation is normally included and you will find yourself in a bustling metropolis, with everything you could possibly want, quite literally, on your doorstep. Shoot from one end of the city to the other on the subway, cycle through the streets along with an army of other bikes and marvel at the sheer number of skyscrapers reaching for the clouds. There’s plenty of options to teach English here with private academies and public schools both hiring English teachers. The higher salary range will usually be achieved with a teaching license and extensive experience. But even newbie teachers can make a decent salary here - starting at about $1,200 per month (depending on other qualifications and background). Things like a background in business will be seen as a massive advantage for those hoping to teach business English, as well as a TEFL certificate. Beijing is also the ideal place for English speakers to learn Mandarin and lessons are often added to the teaching contract. So if you want to immerse yourself in; culture completely, language, history and...well, cycling… then Beijing might just be the best teach abroad destination for you. Check out this post about traveling in Beijing and Shanghai by one of our English teachers. 2. Guangzhou Who will love it: Culture junkies who want to live somewhere a little less typical! Population: 14.4 million (there are only 4 states in the USA with a larger population) Language: Cantonese and Mandarin Teaching English salary range: $1,100 - 2,500 USD per month Fun fact: This city is a bit of a name changer. It’s previously been called Canton and Panyu! Types of ESL jobs: business English, private academies, and public schools Obvious bonus: A hop, skip and a jump to Hong Kong The third largest of China’s cities. Guangzhou is a little off the beaten track. It’s Hong Kong’s neighbor and boasts an international airport - so you can get your travel-on pretty easily. It’s home to the Pearl River and they make their own beer (although rumor has it - it’s far from the perfect pint!). From museums to towers, startling skyscrapers, and the massive (even by Chinese standards) Temple of the Six Banyan Trees, there’s plenty to do and see without ever leaving Guangzhou. One of the major benefits of this city is that the cost of living is considerably cheaper than Beijing or Shanghai, while still having all the benefits of a bigger-scale city. You will have more than enough brands and restaurants from home, and plenty of opportunity to save. It’s a little off the international radar, so it’s also not swamped with tourists year round. The climate is temperate (occasionally a bit rainy) ? - so you can escape the Baltic winters of more northern cities. It’s green 365 days a year and is known as the city of flowers, making it one of the most colorful cities in China. If you want to live in a place with flowers blooming all year, then this might just be the city for you. Native English speakers will have no trouble landing a job in this busy city. Depending on your qualifications there are opportunities in both public and private institutes as well as a wealth of companies who teach Business English. Why not check out this blog: What it’s really like teaching English in China (from a teacher who spent time teaching adults English in Guangzhou). 3. Shenzhen Who will love it: Warm-weather-loving travel junkies! ?? Population: 12.5 million (it’s bigger than the entire country of Belgium) Language: Mandarin and Cantonese Teaching English salary range: $1,100 - 2,500 USD per month Fun fact: China’s richest city. Shenzhen has grown to 50 times the size it was just 40 years go. So, they must be doing something right! Types of ESL jobs: Business English, private academies, kindergartens and public schools Obvious bonus: A subway ride away from Hong Kong (yes, a subway ride) Warm in winter (yes please!) and hot in summer (as it should be!)…this is the perfect location for lovers of sunnier climes. Not that sunbathing is your only form of entertainment, from the bustling traditional restaurants (the hot pot is unmissable…just saying) and shops of the Shuiwan district to a challenging hike up Nanshan Mountain??, there are lots of attractions to keep your weekends busy. You’ll also find your fair share of tall buildings, theme parks and temples dotted throughout the city. If you’re worried about air quality in Chinese cities then this might be the city for you to teach English in. Not only does it have some of the best air quality possible in a Chinese city, but the city is famous for its growth and wealth. There is a healthy financial district and so, plenty of jobs to go around for English teachers. The cost of living is lower than in China’s bigger cities, so teachers can enjoy a quality of life they mightn’t be able to afford at home. A great location for meeting Chinese citizens from all over the country - as its wealth and jobs market attracts ambitious talent from the rest of the country. Oh and did we mention that subway ride to Hong Kong, seriously, it’s right there! Whether you want to teach little kids or adults there is an opportunity for you here. From public to private schools there’s no shortage of demand for English teachers in this Chinese city. Teaching English in Shenzhen is also a popular choice and you’ll have no trouble finding a group of expats to hang out with! 4. Yangzhou Who will love it: Water babies, those looking for smaller-city vibes, and flower fanatics Population: 4.4 million (so, basically the population of Ireland in one city) Language: Mandarin Teaching English salary range: $1,100 - 2,500 USD per month Fun fact: Fried rice is this city’s dish and they eat it with thousand fish soup! Types of ESL jobs: Public, private and business English Obvious bonus: Um, I’m confused, did we not mention the fried rice? But a second might be you’re only a 1.5-hour train ride from Shanghai! This city is 2,480 years old, so you can expect to stumble upon some nuggets of Ancient China here and there. Known for its extensive network of waterways (rivers, lakes and the ocean!), and its cultivated gardens, it’s a beautiful city to live in and tends to attract quite a few tourists to its scenic streets. Folk arts like Chinese puppetry and opera are still practiced here, so you can definitely get some insights into the local culture. Museums, tombs, temples and mountains (not necessarily in that order) are all part of the landscape. When you’re not eating the local fried rice (the last mention… I swear) you can hop on some public transport and check out China’s Dinosaur Park. It’s under 2 hours away, and so, so worth it. You can officially say you’ve ridden a pterodactyl. If you’re into that kind of thing. As for teaching English in Yangzhou, there are plenty of schools on the lookout for native English teachers. From public to private, and adult to little cuties, there’s something for everyone (pretty much the theme of teaching English in China!). And with the cost of living being remarkably lower than the bigger cities - it should be easy enough to save. 5. Harbin Who will love it: Ice fanatics, lovers of elaborate lighting displays, cozy jumper heads ?? Population: 5.14 million Language: Mandarin Chinese Teaching English salary range: $1,000 - 2,000 USD per month Fun fact: AKA as China’s Ice City. In winter Harbin city builds life-size castles and well a city, out of ice and then lights them up. Check it out here. Types of ESL jobs: All the jobs - from public to private Obvious bonus: The ice festival is perhaps the most spectacularly extravagant thing on planet earth today! ?? A much smaller city than some of its contemporaries, Harbin is definitely a little off the beaten track. If you’re not a fan of the cold then maybe avoid a city that is famed for its ice festival. The winter is long here, but it’s not cold all year round. Summer sees temperatures reach 40 degrees Celsius. So be prepared for weather extremes. ?? Many teachers prefer the summers, but there’s a lot to be said for living in a winter wonderland. Bundling up and looking at the lights on your walk home from work would be a daily vision you could never forget. The buildings are well heated and if you’re able to cope with a Baltic winter - then you can reap the rewards of living in this smaller city. From exotic Russian-style cathedrals to a ski resort - there’s plenty to do. This is perhaps the most European city in China, with many of the buildings reflecting Russian influence. And it’s not all snow and ice - the sun island scenic area is home to a flower garden, a swan lake and a squirrel island during the summer months! ? ESL teachers planning to teach in Harbin can expect to earn anything from $1,000 per month upwards. With the reduced cost of living, it should be no problem to save money. Just make sure you pack a winter wardrobe! 6. Shanghai Who will love it: BIG CITY LOVERS. Seriously, this is your spirit-home. Also, people that are a bit nervous about teaching English in China. Population: 24 million (basically three New York cities) Language: Mandarin Chinese, Shanghainese Teaching English salary range: USD $1,200-4,500 per month Fun fact: It’s not a concrete jungle. There are 157 public parks in Shanghai! Types of ESL jobs: Everything, but especially teaching English to adults and Business English Obvious bonus: It’s the world’s biggest city. It has...all the things! If you’re nervous about teaching abroad in China, then this might be the place for you. This is a home away from home for expats, you won’t be short of foreign friends and there’s a large English speaking community (actually there’s a number of them!). You won’t just be hanging with your fellow TEFL heads as there are lots of business type expats too. So it’s a bit more mixed than some teach abroad opportunities. There’s also many of your home comforts and foods and it’s a truly international hub. ??? As it’s such a big city there are a lot of opportunities for teachers when it comes to teaching adults or business English. There are public and private school positions too, but there’s definitely more on the business end of things. It’s worth noting that the cost of living is higher, but then again, the wages are also higher. 7. Hangzhou Who will love it: Tea addicts, nature lovers and people looking for quiet city life Population: 9.4 million Language: Mandarin Chinese Teaching English salary range: $1,000 - 2,000 USD per month Fun fact: It’s the tea capital of China. Can we get a cuppa? Types of ESL jobs: All sorts - adults, children, public or private. Obvious bonus: You can sip tea in gorgeous gardens, can I get a yes please! From the tranquil beauty of Qiandao lake, to the quiet pagodas of West lake, this peaceful city is the perfect spot for quieter types. If you’re interested in history and culture this city is the place to experience a different side of China. And if you’re ever in need of a little hustle or bustle - you’ll be a one hour high-speed train ride away from Shanghai. So, the best of both worlds. Teahouses, water activities and a more manageable city size mean that you’ll be able to settle in and get the run of the place a little quicker than in some of the vaster cities. There’s plenty of cultural and historical spots and the city is a healthy mix of the old and new. It’s also pretty close to several other cities, and there’s a large network of trains that can whizz you off for a weekend away in a matter of hours (public transport is relatively cheap). There are more than enough teaching opportunities for English teachers in Hangzhou and you can find positions in both private academies, public schools and even (for the very qualified) universities. Find out more about teaching English in Hangzhou here. 8. Chengdu Who will love it: PANDA LOVERS Population: 14.4 million Language: Mandarin Chinese Teaching English salary range: USD $1,200-1,800 per month Fun fact: PANDAS Types of ESL jobs: Ones that leave you plenty of time to visit pandas… Obvious bonus: Um...PANDAS, obviously. Chengdu is the city of pandas, it’s not called that, but they have a Panda reserve where they breed pandas every single year. Yes, you’ve understood correctly. There are baby pandas there to smush your little heart. On a slightly more serious note - Chengdu has more than just pandas to offer. There are lots of things to do with Mount Qingcheng (just your standard palace on a mountain, no biggie), and the Du Fu cottage both drawing crowds. A smallish city (by Chinese standards… huge by any other standards), this city is pretty affordable. In fact it’s home to quite a few expats who are drawn by the relaxed, sleepy vibe of the city, and (clearly) the pandas. The wages are good and the cost of living means English teachers can enjoy their life here. Highly recommended reading: Set relatively near by - River Town by Peter Hessler will inspire you to live the life of an English teacher in China. 9. Xi'an Who will love it: History lovers unite! Population: 8.4 million Language: Mandarin Chinese Teaching English salary range: $1,100 - 1,800 USD per month Fun fact: Some of the most unusual historical attractions you’ll find in China Types of ESL jobs: Private and public, as well as business English Obvious bonus: Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum (seriously!) We’re not joking when we say history buffs will be impressed. The powers of preservation have smiled kindly on Xi’an and there are some stunning archaeological things to see here. The Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum dates back to the 3rd century BC!!!! 1,000s of terracotta soldiers were buried with the emperor of the time and the sculptures still stand today. Other sites include the Xi’an city wall, Daming Palace, a drum tower and a great mosque. And that’s only skimming the surface of what this city has to offer. If you want to steep yourself in Chinese tradition and history - then this is probably the city for you. It’s easy to navigate on foot and also has a space exploration center and an arts center . A decent sized city, you shouldn’t have a problem landing an English teaching job here. 10. Ningbo Who will love it: Ex-business heads looking to teach English Population: 7.6 million Language: Mandarin Chinese Teaching English salary range: $1,200 - 1,600 USD per month Fun fact: Rumored to have the most developed economy in China! Types of ESL jobs: Private and public, as well as business English Obvious bonus: It’s super easy to access the rest of the country - Ningbo has a railway network that forks out to the rest of China Just a two-hour train ride from Shanghai, Ningbo is a doorway to the rest of China. You’ll have no trouble jumping on a train and seeing the rest of the country. Of all the smaller cities this is probably the most globally minded. It’s home to many international businesses and expats and is considered a business hub, Wander the streets and gawk at skyscrapers disappearing into the clouds, or hop in next door to bow at a local temple. This city is a juxtaposition of the old and new - giving you enough of life’s modern comforts to keep you sane and enough of Ancient China to make you feel like you’re getting your daily dose of culture. The concentration of international businesses means the demand for English teachers is high. So why not add this to your list of Chinese cities you’d like to live in. 11. Nanjing Who will love it: Culture vultures, foodies Population: 8.3 million Language: Mandarin Chinese, Nanjing dialect Teaching English salary range: USD $1,200-2,000 per month Fun fact: This is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China Types of ESL jobs: Private and public, as well as business English Obvious bonus: Nanjing salted duck is served here, which is said to be the inspiration for Peking duck. So - calling all foodies! Also known as the “city of culture” - this is a small city with plenty to do and see. Whether you plan to explore palaces and temples or wander around shops, bars and restaurants. There’s an eclectic mix, with plenty of western brands to keep you company. Just north of Shanghai - the big city is never far away! But you can retreat to this little center of culture, calmness and history for your day-to-day living. There are lots of parks dotted about the place, so plenty of green to break up that concrete. This city is definitely a great place to teach English and there’s a friendly expat community that will welcome you immediately.
