Hey Guys,

Just reading your posts and like I said earlier, I didn't do my research and that is my bad. Actually, in my TEFL course we had a few Asian Americans and Africans teaching in China one is in Beijing the other is in Jinan. However, I did meet some parents who wanted to their teachers to be full on white men or women as they don't expect people who do not have that skin color to have that fluency in English When, I wanted to go to Beijing and Shanghai the recruiter I think John? I forgot his name said people in China expect their teacher to look like the Titanic Leonardo Di Caprio. Although, that is a pretty goddamn cliche I have met some Chinese people who do think Americans should be straight up white. On the other hand I did think the recruiter didn't really try to place me in schools such a BJ and SH since I think he might've been a bit lazy so I had to go teach in EIE/WECl which is a program that has many schools in China such as BJ/Dalian/Chongqing and etc. I just took the leap of faith and just went to Yantai since I was just what the hell about it. Apparently, actually out of all the teachers and my Asian American heritage I have been able to connect with the students on a whole nother level. Its interesting being an Asian American in China and some of the other teachers are quite jealous since I've been able to really cherish my time here. But yeah, I know I made a strange decision paying to teach here in China and I was a young guy finishing up college and found this job as it was posted from my college recruiting board so of course I thought it was legit. I would be happy email you guys privately and I would be glad to show pictures. I never noticed this post before and I do feel quite embarrassed someone used my name without permission. THAT IS A BIG NO NO and very very unprofessional.
