There are so small scam ed schools. Does it matter if it is online or in person as long as you get your visa. If you only want to learn online, your progress is going to be horrible. Just go with that school if you want the visa.
50k is not a lot but it is a nice nest egg as long as you are getting a monthly pension. But again, you can live like a king or a peasant in Thailand depending on the lifestyle that you choose. So spend what you have and don't but anything but a motorbike.
the CCP are hiding it from you. The smaller banks that leveraged the loans to the bad real estate companies are going under every day. They are trying to sweep it under the rug by having the larger state banks take them over. Your money is not safe in China or move out of China.
Wtf? Scam central, Chinese banks are notorious for going bankrupt. I advise you to move the money to your own country and apply in Laos. Never trust the Chinese.
I saw a little girl playing on a cpu keyboard without an attached computer while her mom was cleaning the garage in my condo. I went up to my unit and gave her my iPad as a gift. Give away your clothes, it makes you feel better than to get a few baht for it.
