Hire a driver. Search on the forum and you can find where we’ve talked about drivers and posted phone numbers.

I did a search on the forum but nothing came up, do any of you have any experience on how much it would cost to hire a driver?

I am actually looking something with a small yard for my dog, if I could find an apartment with a rooftop garden or some sort of a large balcony with some green grass for my dog to go on. I will not be able to take him out for walks as he is a big dog and he is very afraid of buses, trucks and crowds.

why are villas so high up in price? I am looking for even a townhouse as long as there is a yard for my dog which is very important.

[EricMember]

dude. you’re not getting a yard for the dog in china.

I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but is this a serious thread or an exercise in irony?

[Aaron MagpayoMember]

no really true, I have a golden retriever who hates being around buses and busy streets. he like to run in a yard.

Best advice.. Get over here and find out. No one can give you the minute detail of ‘this house has 2039 acres and great for pets, it also allows happy and private drivers to do your bidding.’

Theres a saying, plans hardly ever work out. Just accept what you can get.

[Aaron MagpayoMember]

Actually wanted to educate myself as much as possible, to prepare myself for the move.

[BrendanMember]

Aaron, you’ll find most people here willing to help out, but you should do some homework yourself. Some of the questions posted you should really have answers to if the company offering you employment is half way serious. Do you have someone within the firm liaising with you on the move to Chengdu?

Meanwhile, check out this article.

Off with their heads!!

[Aaron MagpayoMember]

actually I do have someone but I was looking into doing some research myself as I wanna see what other peoples experiences are.

[Aaron MagpayoMember]

anyway thanks for all the info I will no longer ask anything else as I have gotten the info I am looking for
