    Sure, it's comfortable at home, but you might not have as much freedom.

      Don't even get me started! Today, I had a mala xiangguo that cost over 30 RMB, and it felt like four-fifths of it was just chili peppers and their casings. (This was at Langer Ge Mala Xiangguo).

        I got totally ripped off by a mala xiangguo stall in a Hangzhou subway underpass once. I just casually picked a few items, and it came out to over 80 RMB! When they were weighing it, I saw the female owner – she looked like an internet celebrity, and I immediately sensed she was no ordinary vendor.

          There's a Hangzhou HR and Admin group. Hit me up if you're interested. It's for recruitment, job seeking, and also just for 'water cooler' chat or slacking off and chatting.

            Could you please help leave a comment on the networking/resource-sharing thread? That way, more people who could use it will see it.

              Hangzhou is positioned as a hub for internet e-commerce and AI technological innovation. It's not really geared towards the average person.

                Hangzhou is a good place for ordinary folks to learn about e-commerce, but perhaps not ideal for conventional career paths.

                  That's absolutely true. Having been in Hangzhou for 20 years, I've seen monumental changes. The soaring cost of living is genuinely making it increasingly difficult for newcomers to stay. Why can't it be more like Guangzhou?

                    Hi there, excuse me, but roughly how much is the rent over there?

                      Yeah, Hangzhou isn't all that exciting either.
