Cobra posted: I am totaly agree with you. I also prefer Northeast of China to the south. Are you a non-native speaker?
Turino's reply: Obviously Cobra is a non-native speaker,just like his Chinese colleagues.
By contrast, William is the opposite ,as can be inferred by NATIVE SPEAKERS from his literate posts!
So,why should Chinese employers pay Cobra 6000 Yuan/month or more in North China when they can employ most Chinese teachers of English to teach Chinglish for at most 3000 a month there?
And that's before we start comparing accents!
Maybe someone is trying to take the mickey, or else is just plain unworldy-wise!
