In response to Re Rubbish Yuncheng Middle School, China (Phil88)

Saving Money:

For a 10 month contract, where you are paid 8 months, you can save your pay minus about 2000 rmb to 2500 rmb. Your contract has even greater upside potential.

It depends what you do. If you eat at local restaurants you will be hard pressed to spend more than 1500 to 1800 a month. Buying a motorbike or eBike, junk food, sodas, having clothes dry cleaned, kitting out your flat, or multiple taxis into Yuncheng where there are clubs and restaurants that have western food and prices, will increase that to your salary if you socialise every weekend.

It is trivial to spend your month's packet in a KTV in a few hours on fake top-shelf liquor.

You seem sensible, so I would project a savings potential of ~40k for one year, and that includes a trip here or there, pizza, a burger, Xian, so on. With your package, max potential could be up to 70k if you stay in and only save. That is, for the ESL industry, good. It's not MENA great, but it's better than most other countries. Around JP and SK level.

That your pay will be as it shall, assists this greatly.

Being 'stuck' outside of town (it's only 3000 metres away) across the freeway, will cut down on spending events as well.

Internet:

You won't be able to do just about anything you assume you can do.

Is going bye-bye. Set up your VPN and any online accounts well before you leave, and make certain they work. Once 'inside' everything basically stops working, especially now with the current climate.

It will be pure Catch-22. You will need a VPN to access banking, email, fill CAPTCHA's, to get anything done, but TGFWoC blocks them, so you cannot register to get a VPN so that you can use CAPTCHA forms...

Get a friend back home to act as point person, keep your bank account open back home and wire the money into it every 2 months. Try to keep as much of your money, that you earn in China, as possible OUTSIDE of China.

Have a good flight, good luck, pack very light (3 bags tops), and let us know how it goes.

Mobile Phone:

Probably won't work, you may need to buy one in country, try not to spend too much they will overcharge you for a fake.
