White guy living in China here. These White Monkey jobs, whilst real, aren't nearly as common as you think and they pay fuck all. I have seen two postings for jobs like this this week, one in Shanghai and the other in Chengdu. Both were 6 hours occassions and paid 800 and 1000 yuan respectively, with no travel allowance. That, or you need to be a white female who can dance or serve drinks, preferably from Russia or the Ukraine so they can underprice you.

我是居住在中国的白人。这些白人猴子工作虽然是真实存在，但是没有你们想象的那么普遍，而且薪酬低。本周我就看到了两个类似的工作机会，一个在上海，一个在成都。都是工作六小时，工资分别是800和1000，没有差旅补贴。前提是你得是白人女性，会跳舞和提供酒水，最好是来自俄罗斯或乌克兰，这样就给你低点价钱了。

When I was in Japan I slept in a hostel and one night everyone was bored sitting in the common room just chatting until that one brazilian girl stood up and said she just wanna go out and dance. She came back at like 5am with more than 50000yen. Turns out she was in a bar/club that went empty kinda fast but as she wanted to go japanese business man kept asking if she keeps on dancing so they can talk about business and dont feel weird beeing only dudes in the club. So she just kept dancing and dancing got all drink paid and cash. They didnt made moves on here they didnt even talked to her they just wanted her to stay around.

我在日本时住在一个旅社里面，有一天晚上大家都很无聊，坐在公共休息室里面闲聊，突然一个巴西女孩站起来说道她想出去跳舞。她早上五点回来，手上握着5万日元。原来她去了一家酒吧/夜总会，很快里面的人都走光了，就在她准备也离开时，日本商人询问她是否可以继续跳舞，这样他们可以一边谈生意，同时不会因为只有自己在而觉得怪异。所以她就继续跳了，喝的饮料都不是自己付钱，还额外赚了那么多现金。这些男的自己没跳舞，甚至没有和她聊天，就只是想让她跳舞而已。

I wish people would pay me to just hang around and dance but I'm short and fat and a kind of neon white that makes people ask me questions about sunscreen quality.

我倒是希望有人付我钱让我在旁边跳舞，但是我又矮又胖，而且有点霓虹白，所以人们总是问我用了什么防嗮霜。

I've never heard the term 'neon white' before, especially describing skin, but I love it.

我从未听说过“霓虹白”这个说法，特别是用在形容皮肤时，但是我喜欢。

In Japan there are "girl's bars" where men pay women to sit with them and talk with them over drinks. Nothing more.
There are other bars I can't recall the name of, where it's the exact same thing, except the girl is the bartender and doesn't sit with you, she stays behind the bar.
They're paying high for companionship

在日本存在着“女孩酒吧”，就是男的付钱给这些女性，让她们陪自己聊天。别无其他。
还有一些酒吧我不记得叫什么名字了，但是同样的功能，只不过那些女孩就是服务员，不和顾客坐在一起，就只是待在吧台后。
他们为这种陪伴支付高额的费用。

That actually sounds kind of nice. Every time I've gone to a strip club with my buddies I always really enjoy just talking to the dancers and hearing their stories (I give them a nice tip at the end for taking their time)

这听起来挺不错的。每次我和朋友去脱衣俱乐部时，我总是很喜欢和这些舞者聊天，听听她们的故事。最后给他们一笔不小的消费，毕竟占用了人家时间嘛。

I couldnt imagine the stress that causes this to be a social norm.

如果这是常态，那我无法想象日本社会的压力是多么的大。

Same in Vietnam, I've seen more and more Russian/Ukrainian women having shitty entertainer jobs here.

越南也是如此，我看到越来越的乌克兰和俄罗斯女性在这里从事垃圾的娱乐工作。

Yeah. In the early 2000s, people from 2nd tier cities were staring at me like I was an alien. Now even in 3rd tier cities they don't give a damn. Kind of a relief honestly, don't really like standing out

十几年前，二线城市的人们看我就像外星人。现在即使是三线城市的人都不管我了。坦白说，这其实是一种解脱，不喜欢在人群中太显眼的感觉。

Is there an actual ranking system for cities in China? How does it work?

中国有城市分级系统吗？怎么分级的？

I have indeed had moments of being paid a lot, 3,500 RMB for a day and a half as a "judge", 500 RMB to film a pizza ad for 15 minutes, but yeah most are like 150 an hour to model or be there for a grand opening

我确实也做个几次报酬较高的工作，比如3500元做一天半的“裁判”，500元拍一段15分钟的披萨广告，但是大部分的工作都是150元每小时，比如当模特或者参加开业典礼。

That's probably because you're female and not unattractive

可能是因为你是女的，而且不好看。

If they are paid by the company they aren’t acting like employees, they are employees.

如果给他们付钱的是企业，那就不叫假扮员工，他们就是员工。

A lot of clothing companies actually use white models to sell clothes too.

很多服装公司都利用白人模特来销售自己的服装。

wow how can i get a job like that? how is your wage relative to the average? what qualifications do you need (physical/educational)? how would i apply/search for these jobs if i live in the US, would i have a chance if im a westerner living in the US or do you need inside connections? how is your quality of life in China?

我要怎么获得这样的工作？和普通人比你的工资怎样？需要什么样的资格吗（身体或者文凭）？如果我住在美国要怎么申请或者寻找这样的工作，如果我是居住在美国的西方人还有机会吗？还是说需要内部的关系？你在中国的生活质量怎样？

Got my initial job answering an advert on a community website. No qualifications, other than be white, look presentable & be reliable (don't be late, drunk etc).
At first it was some extra work when I had time off from my 'proper' full time job. Now it is my main source of income, as projects get more elaborate. Average salary is $5000 USD/month, although with bonuses can get quite a bit higher. Living in Asia, this gives me quite a comfortable life :)
I'm not sure about how you would go about finding such jobs in the West, only to keep eyes open for adverts looking for white faces to attend events 😉

我最初的一份工作是在一家社区网站的广告上找到的。不需要要任何资格，只要你是白人，好看，可靠就行（不迟到，不喝醉等等）。
刚开始的时候是我在全职工作之外的一份兼职，现在成为了我的主要收入来源，因为项目越来越复杂了。平均工资是每月5000美元，如果有奖金的话还更高。住在亚洲，这样的收入够你过上好生活了。
我不知道你在西方的话要如何找到这样的工作，但是你要睁开你的眼睛看看有没有需要白人面孔去参加活动的招聘广告。
