I currently live in the SF Bay area, but plan to work in Shenzhen. I visited Shenzhen for 5 days in May, and I was escorted by a person from my future employer's H.R. team.
The company I will be working for is located in Bantian, Longgang.
I would like some recommendations on:
* Housing: I would be looking for a 2-bedroom apartment (I'm guessing furnished ones is the default). I would look for safer part of town, perhaps somewhere where people speak some English.
Where? What districts/areas of town should I be looking at?
* Transportation:
Do expats normally use co. transportation?
Is a car-and-driver an option?
Is commuting by taxicabs common?
Any other option that's viable?
* Medical/dental/vision
Is employer paid healthcare coverage the norm?
Is Cigna a viable option?
