I am in Chengdu.

We received an almost identical message this morning having just got back to school ready for the new semester.

It is happening and I wouldn't be surprised before every province pops up on this board with similar stories. Its obviously filtering its way out from Beijing.

The hassle for me is not having a clue as to actually go about this. Even where to start. Anybody have any ideas? I am Australian. I found something on the Chinese Embassy website about it but it is so convoluted that it would take at least a month to do and we have been given until 15th September!

It beggars belief and our school still has not filled two positions so they no doubt will be expecting the rest of us to make up the classes until they do....

Fed up is an understatement.
