I’m lazy so I’m just gonna post this email I sent to Michelle about teaching in china, cause y’all might be intersted.
It’s gotten pretty cold here, and I got sick again, cause I talk all the time in class and the pollution is bad. Oh yeah and one night I decided to stay up all night for no reason at all. Life in china here is pretty good. The program I am on is pretty good, but it’s not really much of a program. It’s basically just a way to hook up with a school in China. The orientation was a joke. The things they do for me which are nice is give me back up if I have trouble with the school. Like when the school told me that I should stay in side and not go out, they called and straightened things out. Th also set me up with a pretty nice contract thought the pay is kind of shitty. The one thing I don’t like is that compared to the other foriegn teachers that I know, my school is all up in my business. They have good intentions like taking me to tourist attractions and giving me food and making sure I am safe, but I wish they would just leave me alone. It’s a pain to have to explain where I am going everytime I don’t eat dinner at school and I don’t really like the tourists places they like to, I would much rather go with my friends I have made in other places.
Teaching in China is a good job, It’s pretty easy and the culture is very different from the US. Everybody here wants to learn english so there is a large demand. I am thinking about staying here another year and really learning Chinese. If I stay another year I might move somewhere else and try to get more money. You can get the most money working for private companies but then you have to work a lot of hours, so working for a goverment school is better in my opinion. Anyway if all you want is money you should teach in Japan or Korea. China is probably a little beter than India in terms of sexual harassment, at least thats what I’ve heard, I’m not a girl so I don’t know for sure.
