The contract that he will send you online is not the same as the contract the school will eventually make you sign.
I was promised a nice big western style apartment.
Instead, I had to spend 3 hours scrubbing a filthy little hovel that had a sewage problem and leaking hot water.
When they say free internet, don't think that's a free computer as well. You will probably just get a dial-up connection.
They say the school will pay for everything... yet I still had to pay for another medical, and also for taxis and buses to and from schools, (even though the contract says the school provides transport.)
When i confronted the school with these issues, they just laughed and said that Chris Johnson/Lester, just says anything to get his commission for getting you signed up and shipped out to China.
You should research Harbin as well, it is freezing cold, and very isolated.
Mate, just trying to give you a heads up, coz when you get there it's too late. I would suggest that you go into China and find a school yourself. You can negotiate your price, and probably get accommodation too if you can bargain with them. Remember that Chinese are extremely shrewd and thrifty businesspeople, and most of the time you will just represent a walking money tree... try to talk to some other teachers and see where they are teaching....don't ever rely on the word of a recruiter...trust me...don't take a chance with China, every picture they paint you is grossly exaggerated. Good luck mate....just research. Put the time into finding a good school and it will be worth it.

Any way, my explaination is correct. I do not want any foreign teacher will be misled. If the employee really want to termante his contract for some reason, 30 days notice is generally accepted by most emlpoyers( maybe some employers require 2 0r 3 months notice). so it is unnecessary to escape (or said as leave without school knowing).

If the school you signed contract with reports to police that some one had commited crime and has evidence as a proof. I think the china special police internet is very efficient. The person will be stoped 100% at customs. In this case the person may lose chance to have his future visa to enter the contry.

Customs cannot and will not stop you. You can casually walk away at any time. Contracts do not hold water, and are simply a tool to make you feel pressure to stay. Just go, if you must. I am speaking from direct experience.

I feel for you.
It may be of little consolation,but you're neither the first nor the last FT to be used and abused by a rogue Chinese recruiter.
If I were in your shoes,I'd do a runner on Friday evening after class.By doing so,the chances are your absence won't come to light until Monday morning,by which time you'll have been able to exit the country.The only way you'd have trouble at the airport would be if your employer via the foreign affairs office in Chongqing managed to contact airport customs before you had exited the country - highly unlikely if you leave China without unnecessary delay.
Good luck - you certainly deserve it!

can any of my fellow teachers please advise me:
I have signed a contract with a company in Chongqing. They have lied to me about most things such as my apartment, working conditions, and the list goes on.
I am in a living nightmare here. I want to fly out of the country as soon as possible, back to Melbourne, Australia. Please advise me if i will be stopped by customs when i go to board my plane? I have my proper Visa in my passport, and everything is in order. The only exception is that I am leaving the company without telling them, and whilst still under contract.
Can anyone stop me at the airport?
Please...no jokes...this is very serious. Thanks guys.
