In Response To: Good experience. (Toby)

I can only imagine you were either a) hideously drunk at the time of posting this; b) paid a ridiculous amount of money to say such kind things; or c) don't really exist but are a fictional character created by the wicked witch of the East who runs this school to try and entice poor unsuspecting people to teach there!
Yes, it is true, your teaching experience in this country is what you make of it. However, it is also true, in 6 years here, I have NEVER heard a good word from ANYBODY who has worked for this school. Quite the opposite. Stories of threats and abuse shouted in the street, (the first of whcih I have had personal experience of), being stalked by her "spies" (again a victim), and point blank refusal to pay any form of promised reimbusement for flights, taxi/transportation fares and any dealings with the apartments. Anyone who has spent any amount of time in CHina will know you aren't going to get a palace for an apartment, that is true, but one should not have to expect a cockraoch infested hole with rot running throuhg every wall in the house, which is exactly what not one, but TWO of my friends received when we were working there! (Luckily, I already had my own apartment elsewhere). And as for transportation being provided, ONLY if she deemed it necessary! (Which was VERY rare!)
