I almost worked with John Anderson above. I was supposed to, anyway.

I interviewed with this Yang. Telephone and video. I sent him all the documents. He gave me a contract and a start date. Provided me with the visa.

So I arrived in Huludao, after he couldn't come meet me in Shenyang (first sign). I am waiting for him at Huludao Train Station for one hour. He shows up with a colleague of his. He takes one look at me and says something like : "you are so brown and so Asian looking, our school doesn't hire those types". This was after a signed contract and the trip from Cebu.

So I didn't even get the foot in the door. He fired me before I started. Thank God I had some friends in a nearby city who put me up until I could find another job. That was eight years ago but the scar has been in my heart every since.

And yes, when he met me at the train station, it was like 08h00 morning, he was drunk. He smelled of liquor and he behaved the same.

I was happy to see John Anderson's post.
