[quote=GUEST46367,359668]I am an American retired engineer; I came to Changchun over two years ago and got married to a great women and stayed. Changchun is called the cultural city it has very timid summers and cold winters it is a city of about 7.5 million people the funny thing is chinese consider this a small city.It is located fairly well for traveling many places do try to cater to westerners. Now as far as teaching deal directly with a college, not a middle man company they are known to cheat you. I knew a man and his wife they worked 40 hours weeks and was only paid 1/4 of the money they maid. The company took the rest now as far as students most are great and have taught at like Changchun tourism collge I had some of the student act like animals witch I corrected on the spot. I taught at Changchun collge most of the students were ok when they came to class, no I am at the Jilin agricultural collge I have none english majors but well behaved. And my wife is a teacher at Northeast Normal university for 19 years now. The fist thing in moving to China is get use to the reality China is behind the times........... now deodorant get use to adidas roll on cost about 55 RMB thats about $6.22 US dollars. Food a bought a small electric oven so I make my own bread and pizza...... there is a pizza hut in the city but chinese dont put tomato sauce on the pizza and they put corn and shrimp sad just sad to kill a good pizza. You will have allot to get use to our eyes are round so getting a good deal is hard you must know the chinese price so you can get close to a good price. If you have more questions you can use my web site asianorchidgeeks.com and I can talk more to you I have some pictures of Beijing flower market on it.........hope the best for you Ken[/quote]
