You have to build up good relationships with other FT's in China, then, if needs must you always have a spare room to occupy in an emergency and probably somebody to put the word in for you for another job.

Are you even REMOTELY serious, rely on other broke, drunk, drugged FT's in China...I'd make my own way rather than rely on others...

You are not in the UK, but China...don't expect friends when you need them, laowai or Chinese, not against you, just saying...

And I don't post except for two ids, but you also have 2...ecky thump, young tom in hunan!
