hello,

i worked here as well and it was the worst place to work in for me out of the few places in china i have worked in.

firstly, the people in the city are usually curt, aggressive and rude. it is a money chasing city.

secondly, as the previous person has pointed out, the FAO staff are quite hostile or useless. one likes to yell at foreign professors, i mean, literally, yell at the top of her lungs everytime like we are dogs. but when she talks to her bosses, she is like a pussy cat, polite and nice.

LL is usually polite but for the most part she is slow and inefficient. She won't care if you get run over by a bus.

Apartments are okay, although be prepared for major problems (this is china after all).
