John Smith, I hear ya. In Nanning for a few months, I worked with a lunatic that came out of .. Linguaphone Nanning where he had worked as a DoS. Well, he got himself fired at the Uni. But the point is how he could've gotten hired into that Linguagphone DoS post. The owner and the management of the Nanning LInguaphone are/were desperate enough to do whatever for their fine survival. With clueless ownership and management as another Nanning Linguaphone ft described there, the city only experienced a poor private education there. Given the circumstances that the local public education isn't much different in Nanning, i feel sorry for the locals there as they'll probably never know what a good education is like. As for Guangzhou, you are right that some of us do not know the place and we should give you a credit for that 3 fantastic years there, however, why you would just mention the reasons that FTs get paid well and on time as for the main reasons why a company is so "fantastic" puzzles not only me but also my little son that's read your fine post from behind me too. Could you give us more reasons for this center being so fantastic?

Cheers and beers to any educational institution that not only pays its teachers well and on time :)

I worked for Linguaphone Guangzhou for 3 years ending in mid 2009. It was a fantastic experience.

But i guess nowhere near as fantastic an experience as what one of your fellow posters, 'Sorely Tempted', is thinking of doing! Huh,working for a TC a fantastic experience? Don't make me laugh, you can't fool me - I know all about TC's. teaching at any TC is a second-rate job!
