Its true that this company is not really good, even on the day before the christmas party I asked if I can bring my lesbian wife and CIPTC- China Shenzhen Internaitonal Personal Training Centre said you cannot bring spouses and then after that they changed their minds...so I brought my wife to the christmas party.. It true that this company can tell you anything to make you believe them but you have to be careful they do put you in crappy schools and you will get paid less... but it is very important to get the right visa because its not good that you want to stay for 5 years in China you need to do things right and go home and get the proper visa.. or you will have problems like me I am married to a Chinese and the law is that i cannot work.

Was that a term of endearment for your good lady? hahaha!

Now, I don't know how old you are but I know some pensioners in their 70's who are married to Chinese. One of those (73) gets a pension for years spent on the Permanent-Way, working as a guard for British Rail; and then he gets his UK state pension, plus winter fuel allowances. They are all doing full time jobs in China on an unofficial basis. Maybe they do command a little less redemption than younger FT's with degrees but they're happy larrys. Anyway the extra money that legal teachers get is soon swallowed up by trips home to Blighty with all that that entails.
