Great advice! Thanks!

What a shame I am not even in China yet, and I am expecting some of this to happen to me... At least, I am expecting some of this to be tried with me!! I guess as long as I stay strong to myself, and give in to nothing too lightly, things should be okay!!

A couple of things I absolutely will not tolerate, are; Firstly, Late pay... Pay should not even be a day late. It should be paid on the date stated in the contract, If once they try to pay me late and I make a bit of a fuss, I'm hoping they will know not to try it again!! Secondly, a 'crack den' for an apartment. My contract says 'suitable living conditions with all facilities' etc. I can not bring myself to believe that Chinese people do not know what a 'suitable' apartment is, in terms of condition and cleanliness amongst other things. I stipulated in my contract appendix that the apartment would be clean and ready for me when I arrive... Lets hope it is!! Or I will definitely have something to say about it. Start as you mean to go on, I say!!
