Hi John and everyone on this thread,

The previous post was not me as someone used my name to provide you with that information. Although, I am enjoying myself like you said there are a few problems I've had here as well. To be honest with you, I had no idea about anything about China and if I were to do it again; I probably would have done more research that is not an excuse haha. I would be happy to email you and talk about this further. I am currently in Yantai, China and I do like it here. I would say ITA is a start to get you here and it did provide a school, room, board and decent amount of money for China. I have made a lot of friends and grabbed a lot of opportunities that would make me work less than 20 hours a week for the next semester. I would say this program is good if you really don't know anything about China's dealing and business. Like I said, I would probably move on to another company after my term ends since I was able to get certification and met people who do want to learn English from me. I think everyone has a decision and a leap of faith to take and I didn't do enough research but nevertheless ITA did come through for me. But whoever pretended to me, I truly did not appreciate it if I was asked to be on this thread I would have done this myself.
