Hi Everyone,

                         How are you all? Since returning from South America, I have found myself captivated by the idea of working in Shanghai. May I ask has anyone hear worked & lived in Shanghai, would you be able to give me any advice about schools/teaching institutions out there?

Hi I have not worked there. I am in Henan province in the middle of the country and am loving it!

I was able to go to Shanghai for a week holiday in October and it is pretty facinating!

Very western compared to where I am and also very expensive, but you can get a very high paying job there (up to 20 000 a month) with the right experience.

I guess the reason I am replying is just to encourage you to come! It is a magical country and once you are there, you'll want to see the rest of the country as well!!!!
