Turnoi has plenty of credibility on here. He has reached that state of affairs by giving sensible and practical advice to those FT's about to be duped in one way or another. I feel I should speak up at this time in his defence because he has recently given me invaluable advice about how to prevent myself being cheated out of my end of contract air fare allowance by a dishonest Chinese employer. I followed his advice, and was the only one who received the allowance, unlike some grovelling weasels who were afraid to rock the boat there, and hence lost out financially. Thanks a heap, Turnoi.
As for the two Suzhou schools, I personally have no interest in applying for a teaching post at either of them. I didn't come to China to work as hard as I have done in the West. Quite the contrary! In my view, money isn't everything.
