Hi Wallace

You can use Skype if you have it installed on your laptop before you arrive. Remember that Facebook is blocked, so you will also need to download some proxy server software before you arrive to access these sites within China. You'll also be able to get this software from other expat English teachers :)
See Keeping in Touch in China for more info.

Good luck!

Please do not worried you can not use skype in china.The answer is yes.But the facebook have been blocked in china.So you can chose install proxy server software.i can introduce one free proxy server to you.Flyvpn can let you access to facebook.Also it can protect your privacy when you are using public WIFI.You can try it.

How can I get flyvpn in China.I am going to China on a work permit in Shanghai.Please help dont know anything about China.

Hi been in Shenzhen China for about 2 years, started using PureVPN a few months ago. It's pretty decent, but like most thing's that are any good you need to pay monthly. As for Skype it works without a VPN but I've found it to be unbearable most of the time, especially when calling the UK to talk to family etc. For making calls I've been using a callback service called Spaxtel. Really clear, affordable, highly recommend it to anyone going anywhere where the internet quality may be an issue, they are on Facebook if you need more info. All the best.

if i chatted by skype in english with a friend in china and he knows only chinese so how we will understand each other if i also know only english and don't know chinese ?

is there a proxy server like Flyvpn for Mac?

Well,i also use SPAXTEL to call abroad and as VPN,i am using GEEK VPN which is free,fast kinda stable.
