Safety questions from an american female |
|
|
I am an american female and only speak english. I have an internship offer in Beijing at a software company that will provide housing for me. However, I wonder whether Beijing is a safe city for an american female to travel to on her own? I'm worried about whether I will stand out a lot (I'm 5'9" and have light brown hair and fair skin).
Some people told me that people will stare at me cause I look out of the norm. Is this true? Also, how safe is it compared to US? |

Yes, people will staring at you all the time, and they will
swear behind your back, but as you don't understand chinese than that shouldn't be a problem, you won't understand a word that coming out of their mouth anyway.
Most of chinese are scare of foreigner, so they won't physically hurt you but please be aware of your money. I am not sure is it their culture or something, but from children around the street to high education men, they seem to like cheating money from others, specially foreigner in everyway.
Finally, about safety... well, generally speaking ,It is safe.
Wish you luck, |
