"Some schools refuse your demands because there is simply no law stating that they have to be provided, jeeez, and you call me confrontational... besides the apartment with provided furniture and other periphery, it's not the law in China to provide a PC...unless there is a SAFEA regulation stating otherwise, which I sincerely doubt, and which you obviously haven't bothered to check. I agree with almost all of your postings, except this point, and it is a pertinent one."

Oh my God, what are you on about? Don't keep resorting to "the bleeding obvious" Do you think I don't know that it isn't Chinese law to supply a computer? (The flowers that bloom in the spring tra la has nothing to do with the case) Why should there be such legislation? There is also no law to say you can't demand one[computer]- No confrontation involved, the boss has the right to refuse and I equally have the right to say that I am no longer interested in the position.

Another thing i always insist on apart from microwave etceteras is a new set of pots and pans, a new rice cooker, water dispenser and all new cooking utensils-these all cost money and I don't like tat. i get all these things added to the contract beforehand.

This new university I've made it known before I arrive that if I'm not wined and dined by the leaders upon my arrival i will not be well-pleased. It's all to do with getting off on the right foot.

Right, i really cannot answer any further stuff for a couple of months-I have to paint my soffits and fascias before I go. Look forward to speaking in a couple of months.
