Interesting that there was a beach called "Pattaya Beach" inside those caves. It is a long way from the real Pattaya.

Not so bad that hothot pretend school then it seems. Been a lot about football from Thailand recently. I have been reluctant to mention the cave rescue because by the time it gets aired it'll all be over done and dusted and forgotten about, hahaha! This ain't no breaking news Channel! I understand that we may have a fellow FT on the beach alongside the caves at Pattaya. I expect he's a volunteer Australian diver. He could hand out free Aussie steak pies at the cave entrance. We wish them well and hope the English FA gives them all free tickets to see Bolton play Portsmouth at home.

Skype is getting difficult to use if all you have is a 32bit architecture operating system and you're using Linux. You could use the web-based Skype but that's blocked a lot in China. I expect you have a cutting-edge 64bit machine but people like, Big T, Trumpsey and Fifi have to make do with Machines that Alan Turing would feel at home with. No disrespect meant to you.

What you need to do is to descend to the realms of the peasants and give us your WeChat details as we is hungry for info regarding that hell-house in hothot-on-sea.

Worked for little London for 2 years. They pay on time but the 'British guy' in charge of the foriegn teachers is a obsolute loon. His mind has gone on old age and weed (not exagerating..), he is unfortunately the contact for when you get problems and sadly he causes more than solves. you can avoid contact with him altogether if you speak Chinese and can sort problems out yourself, would definitely not recommend this school to a non Chinese speaker. and also avoid if you have any teaching experience aswell, for there salaries are rather low, they provide accomodation but the savings in rent does not makeup for the slash in wages.

Thank you very much for your reaction. Also to the other member who emailed me directly.

San Migs, I sent you an email yesterday

I hope you received it. If not, please feel free to mail me directly, my email address is included in this post.

I think I can cope with Hohhot's weather conditions. But a further explanation on the shady side of the school or any other reasons to be on my guards would be much appreciated! I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, Jorden

Hi everyone!

I have been offered a job at Little London English School in Hohhot.
So far, I've had a pleasant email correspondence and Skype interview with a British guy who acts as their head of recruitment.
So I am tempted to accept the offer and get together the documents to start the visa preparations.

However, I have not been able to find that much information on them online.
So I'd love to hear from anyone who is teaching there now or has taught there in the past.
I know Hohhot is not everybody's favourite, but I am confident I can like it well enough for at least a year.
I am very interested to hear though if (former) teachers recommend Little London or not. What did you like or dislike? Did they arrange the right documents for you to apply for a legal Z-visa? Do they keep their promises as to salary and maximum number of hours to teach?
Any answer is much appreciated; thanks a lot for your time!!

Kind regards, Jorden
