Hey Max,

Very basic. If you have a school set up already, great! If not, bring enough cash for at least 2 months. You might get yourself into a position of working for a terrible co./school, which many have. If this occurs, at least you have some cash to rely on. Like any job, you have to wait that 1st month salary. Pending on where you're heading to, you won't spend a tonne of cash, not unless you're givin' er until the beginning of the school year. Check out the conversion of you Nat'l currency as well, not too sure what it is at this moment. Something like 1 US: 8rmb. Anything else just ask!
cheers!
