That was the clone of another forum monkey or the Laughing forum monkey in person!

Bwahaha!

So why is it widely considered within Volkswagen to be the foreign assignment that every employee dreads?

Changchun is a shithole and there's not so much as even a domestic tourism board trying to defend the place.

The SB feels entitled to give opinions about things he knows nothing about.

Changchun is a scammer city, the schools there are rubbish, keep away unless you want to be ripped off! Bottom of the barrel!

I'm not the boss of that school. Nor am I connected with it in any way. About Changchun - it's a good city as it allows non-native speakers to teach legally in China. That applies to the whole province, and HK visa runs are permitted by the provincial education bureau. They do not follow Beijing's stupid visa regulations to the letter. That's sensible and practical in my view.

As throughout China, there will be some deceitful employers of FTs in Changchun, but there will also be many reputable employers, some of whom are training centres.
Stop your unfair criticism. Huh, I bet you have never visited the city! So you don't know what you're talking about!
Not a bad city to live and teach in. But one will find it very, very cold there in winter and spring.
