OMG, I am so glad someone opened this thread.

The most atrocious thing happened to me in this school.

The apartment as Dave said was appalling so I was forced to rent outside, also no living allowance compensation from the school.

Here is the thing though, the woman who was supposed to be helping us, I now we are not supposed to use names so I will just call her J.

Anyway, she was insisting that we make extra copies of the apartments keys. The apartment had two doors, one outside and on inside. The outside door had a few copies to use but the inside door had only one and we couldn't find a locksmith that was able to copy it. Some copy proof/pick proof key.

Eventually I gave up but also didn't want her to have a copy as she had lied about almost everything to that point I couldn't trust her. One copy was enough.

One day J was in the apartment to sort out some of the appliances that were faulty. I thought it strange as she was very eager to help and getting her to help was like drawing blood from a stone.

The thing is after she left I realized the keys were missing along with an access card.

I turned the apartment upside down, looked under everything. That was months ago. The key never turned up and I had the locks changed.

There is something very dodgy about the school and it's administration.

If I could advise anyone on what not to do in China it would be to avoid Shimen Moddle school like the plague.

The school is dishonest, dishonorable and not something any Forigner should get involved with.
