Haha, yeah that guys a bit dodgy. Never had too much of a problem, but he did attempt to cheat us a few times. Overall, I thought the Uni was ok. The university itself can't be called "a cheat and a thief" just because of this chief.

Yeah, the guy who says the university is "a cheat and a thief" is an irate Chinese agent who was not paid commission for having introduced foreign teachers accepted by the university. That chief is the cheat as he has pocketed the commission.
Maybe in many Western eyes, Hunan is not one of the most desirable Chinese provinces to live in. Still, I think the beauty of the local women more than makes up for that. But there are those who say I'm talking bullhockey. I wish they could see that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder!
