Have you ever seen one of these contracts? 3 days a week ... These
numbers are based on a typical work week of 5 days per week. I have signed a new contract without this 3 days thing. It's absolutely 5 days. I teach science too. If you want to meet and socilize, you do not need to worry about this job. I would assume you're financially ok-just get the visitor visa and rent a place on a month to month basis... prices are low. Teach in the local volunteer English conversation clubs for adults. Once, or twice a week. Max 2 hrs, night classes. Excellent opportunities to meet other people ... As a teacher universities are not the best place to meet people... Unless you're looking to meet other teachers. Doesn't look good for a teacher to date students. Its a small world after all. Yes, no did mentioned the heavy workload of a university in China.

Happy life. Just trust your melody,
