Paying for stuff is amazing here and the school Future English does not help either. One of the teachers moved into an apartment and a month later the washing machine broke down. the school negotiated that the teacher would pay for half of the repairs even though they had been there less than a month. It is truly crazy and obvious that the school does not give a darn about their foreign teachers. currently they only have one person at the school who can speak English and she often turns off her cell phone. A teacher got into a bike accident and when he tried calling her she was nowhere to be found. One of the teachers who spoke Chinese had to come help. Just crazy

Pretty standard stuff that. I've witnesses FT's being mugged for a washing machine two days after occupying the flat. The problem is when you start a contract for a rubbish outfit like Future English is they'll send Chinese girls around to the flat with you [when you view it] to negotiate rental conditions on your behalf with the Landlord- they don't do a very good job and you are left being responsible for all the ancient fixtures and fittings. I said they don't do a very good job but a company like Future English could very well have an understanding with property owners they deal with to rob the FT blind. Pretty stupid thing to do because it just leads to unhappy FT's and trouble- the Chinese seem too thick to cotton -on though, and persist in bad practice.
