FREE ADVICE AND TIP OF THE DAY:

AVOID CHINA.

Go teach somewhere else, even Myanmar would be better than China. Bangladesh is nice this time of year as is Sri Lanka.

China offers low wages, nasty, rude, arrogant Chinese people that think they can do anything they want and get away with it, pollution, crowds, high risk, and low-quality living unless you want to pay a premium to enjoy a reasonable quality of life while being paid low wages as you run to the ATM every week for cash to supplement your low wage jobs. You can pay 40-70 RMB for a stick of deodorant that actually works, if and when you can find it.

Beijing and Shanghai are loaded with ass kissing GW slime.

Stay home and teach in your own country and help the poor there. They need it more than China does. The nice thing about Beijing though is that with 1st ring road through 6th ring road, from the air, it makes an easy target for the Stealth bombers. It looks exactly like a bulls eye.
