I'm considering this school as well, I haven't applied yet. Now they are offering 8K. I found another forum on this school http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/review/index.pl?noframes;read=62989 it talks about tourist visas and Z visas. There is also link to a blog from people who taught at this school http://www.teaching-english-haikou.com/frequently-asked-questions

I really want to teach in China but no matter the school I find negative and positive things on the Internet. It's getting a bit frustrating to pick a school. I have a friend right now in Korea, teaching at Epik and her experience has been incredible (she is constantly posting pics on Facebook) but when I look for reviews online there are some really negative reviews about that school.

I guess no school is perfect and it depends a lot on your attitude, being responsible and being able to get along with other people (staff and other teachers).
