Thanks for you replies Silverboy.

As a new person to China, considering I have experience with Hong Kongers and South Koreans is it worth going to work in Wuhan for a few months or more. And should I have concerns considering you have had some negative yet truthful experiences.

My understanding is that the Teaching gig I have been offered is of High caliber as the Uni has international exchange and research agreements with Western Countries. I am not looking for a snazzy city to live in, but as I have said the availability of good coffee is a start. It is always a sign the West has introduced certain tastes and added a hint of Cosmopolitanism to a city. Cheers.
