Some people would say I have no shame, but I am not interested in who has shame or not. I am only interested in trying to talk about the facts. I certainly wouldn't call my situation especially well off, nor particularly bad either. As you might know, it is less than the normal rate for university teachers in Changchun.

So, are you suggesting it would be normal in China to get paid 7000RMB per week?
Or, that it would be normal to work only 13 hours a week?
What is it you are trying to say other than calling me a court jester?

I get paid for 11 of the 12 months a year, and get a bonus for the 12th month. Which has the end result of being paid for 12 months. And no, I don't work through the winter or summer holiday breaks. Thanks for asking. For the up coming May Holiday I get 9 days of paid leave, and it is truly my own time to do with as I please.

What about you? I didn't catch which city you are in, nor your work conditions. Care to share?
