"All I would say is go for it. It feels like we have found a life hack out here - I teach 8 hours a week and get paid as much as I did working 55+ hours back home. Not considering I have my apartment paid for, 2 meals a day at school and I buy dinner each night at my favourite local restaurant for 10 RMB! The streets are clean, food is tasty and everyone is so welcoming and friendly - You won't regret it!"
