Amazing! I really want to hear how you are faring. I also wish you all the luck in the world. (especially all the luck in China :D)

Hey AstridC, just requested friendship with you! BTW I have a best friend from Indonesia : )

I am Chinese too but can't speak Chinese!- interested in learning and studying Mandarin in China whilst teaching as a part-time job (if at all possible).  What TEFL course did you do?

I'm thinking to study the i-to-i 140 combo TEFL course.

My main concern when looking for a job in China is that they wont' hire people like us because we don't look English- i've been warned this from various posts online, by a TEFLer and a Chinese person who use to live in China....

Would be very much interested in how you're getting along in your job hunt!  Keep in touch!

Is moving to China with no job expensive?

How exciting! Your finally in China!

Good luck with the job hunt and keep us updated!

Yeah, good luck and keep us posted!

Congratulations on getting to China Astrid - best of luck with your job hunt - let us know how you get on!
