  • We spent the day looking for some of the spiciest things to eat in Chengdu to see if this is really the spiciest city in China?
    Chengdu is known for it's rich Sichuan cuisine and mouth numbing Sichuan peppers but is there more to the cuisine than just spice? We meet back up with our friend Billy who talks us through all the different flavour profiles that Sichuan food has.

    This program is too good to taste. You are real wonderful couple.
    Another thing I want to praise you is that all you eat your Chinese meals you all hold your bowls to your mouths.
    Even now many Chinese forget this basic politeness thing.
    Thank you for you did this.

    Hi Nico, I have watched some of your videos and am curious about something. I want to go to China to teach, but I have found some agencies that search for ESL teachers that seem very dubious... So I am wondering, have you got any advice to give in how to find an English teaching job in China?
    Thank you very much and continue doing great videos :)

    • @Nicofilms
      @Nicofilms  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hi, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately there are some dubious agencies out there. The laws changed a few years ago and a lot of companies shut down. It seems like the only places now are schools. Unfortunately I haven't been a teacher in China for many years so I'm not familiar with the best way to do it anymore. The only advice I can give is do your research on that school and see if you can speak to any foreigners that work there to get their opinion on what it is like :)
