Yep, he used to supply teachers to that Polytechnic on the outer edge of the city. The one the 90 bus goes past. And he would put teachers in a modern apartment, but nothing worked in there and things would break down all the time. Constant power and water failures. The place was also dirty and noisy all the time, thanks to the roaring traffic on the highway below, which threw dust and sand particles high into the atmosphere. ( there were quarries nearby and trucks everywhere )

On top of that the teachers were all working illegally. David is a very dishonest man. Maybe he is in GZ now, he used to be in contact with universities there also. I think he supplied teachers to a university in Shunde area, but that was a while ago.

Yes, that place, right out nearer towards Zhuhai and involving that rickety bus. At times I wondered if I was in India or economically booming guangdong province, The apartment was new and on that fancy complex, but you are right nothing working, toilet wouldn't even flush most of the time. Water was a huge problem there too, the shower when it did work was good. Never any power failures when I was there, but I guess it was always possible. They never repaired the A/C which in the terrible humidity became a huge problem when I was there, and one I butted heads with Owen about. Yes dirt and noise all the time, think there was a scaffolding pole depot next to the HK english school across the road which was noisy as hell, the dust on the road and in the apartment was annoying.

I also heard he was desperate for money, and wanted teachers all the time badly.
