Hi to everyone !

I am from Spain and I am considering a job offer to move with a local contract into Shenzhen. My family would move with me and I am trying to get in touch with expats with children to understand how is like to live there before I make the decision. I've got a聽 3yrs and a 7 yrs old boys. Whilst I see how positive experience will be for my kids to be exposed to a different culture, learn the language I've got some concerns:

Main is pollution in the air, water etc. How would this affect my children. The oldest had frequent laringuitis when he was younger.

Any advise?

Thanks !

1.聽 What the Western media tells you about China is all lies.聽 Ignore them.

2.聽 Shenzhen is very nice.聽 If I were to compare cities, I would rate Shenzhen as a 10, and London as a 8.聽 Tokyo as a 9.5 and Houston as a 6.聽 New York would be a 7.

3.聽 If you move to China go native.聽 It is the best thing that you can do.聽 Otherwise do not bother.
