Turnoi,
Thanks for your thoughtful response.

I am on Foreign Expert Visa and I have been here almost a year. I am not at language center or university but an international school. The school has a lot of yeh and naysay aorund China, which is frightning.

I have a lot experience though, from teaching many years in the Middle East, South East Asia and Europe. I am concerned about my reputation though, given that so called reputable places do extensive background checks. On the other hand, I am trying to tell myself, that I am getting too physically sick from the constant nit picking, fault finding and constant demoralization during my 50 hour work week. Plus, my original post, the astronimical costs and the one-sideness of the contract.

P.S. On another note, I enjoyed your joke on the post about a China taking an applicant to teach Chinlish, alma mater, University of Antarctica: LOL
