When I first arrived in China I was excited to be in this strange and mysterious country.
In the last couple of years the frustration level has near to driven me insane. But it is never boring. The food is great the working conditions are good and the girls are lovely. I have a real work visa! I have a good job with a nice salary. And living in the beautiful city of Qingdao is truly a pleasure!

How can it be done? If you read the various postings you will find thousands of complaints. It took me a year or more to figure out what I need here to be at peace and enjoy life in China.

First- Read the letter written by the US embassy- Beijing on their website!

Second- when a school invites you to China ask them for their license number (the one they need to hire foreigners)

Third- Do research on the city you intend to go to- China has hot cities-extremely cold cities -modern places- and very backward primitive places...

I will post more later! Time for class!
