I'm aware I've been neglecting the old blog somewhat of late - it's now been over five weeks since my last entry - but really have just been waiting until I have enough newsworthy / interesting tales to entertain you with. Which is hopefully now! When I left you in my last blog post we'd just gotten back from our trip to Xi'an, the weather had taken a dramatic turn for the better, and I...

Ni hao! In true time-flying fashion, it has now been over a month since my last blog post - so I reckon a bit of a Zoe in China update is long overdue... Xi'an By far the most exciting thing that's taken place over the past month is our trip to Xi'an last weekend. Thanks to a national holiday here in China, Sarah and I got five days off work, and decided to venture out...

Hey! just watched your video! looks like you had a great time! what did you go out to China with? (i mean qualifications) hope your having a good time!!!!

Shannon.

Zoe!!!

Hope everything is going well. It's been quite some time you have probably used this site or anything but I just wanted to say regardless how many times I watch it, it still makes me want to so "OMG Why Can't I Be There!"

I am currently getting my head around the 140 hour course and jeeeze there's so much involved. Are you back in the UK now or still moving about?

Keep it smooooth :p x

Hey Zoe,

I am student in India, and I really want to travel and teach. Can i get a teaching job for 4-5 weeks even if I am still without a degree? Do I really have to take up a TEFL course because I don't have that much money.

Also, why do we have to pay for inernships? I thought we would get money to work. I couldn't quite get that part.

Heya,

I heard you had a work placement in Xingtai in China.

I have been offered a job in that city also, and wanted to know what you made of it, and if you would recommend it to me?

Would be nice to hear from you : )

zozo can't believe we wont be having a big catch up for my bday, last yrs was an amazing night :( Babe where the heck is this supermarket you can get heinz beans, im dying for beans on toast, literally neeeeed!! miss ux

Hi,

Are you looking to work in China?

Do you want to work with Kindergarten children?

Do you want a good Salary?

Do you want weekends off and two ½ days?

If you do, please contact me today. Our kindergarten needs teachers for the new semester starting September. We also have vacancies in our training centers. We are based in GuangZhou, Dongguan, and Foshan all in Guangdong Province, China.

Our school is called CIEO (Canadian International Education Organization)

If you want more details then please get in touch, If you know someone who might be interested then please forward this to them.

If you can’t start September don’t worry, you can still apply as we need teachers throughout the year!

All the best,

Robert

Thanks for the speedy reply! My mom will be very relieved! Being the only child can be overwhelming, espeically when the parents are afraid to let their only offspring out into the great big world. haha! Sorry one more question...I noticed you had a cell phone in the video, did you buy that in China? Or did you bring it with you from the UK? I think it'd be great to have a cell phone in China to make local calls, but literally have no idea where to start for that.

By the way, how was the shopping for groceries? Did you have to bargain a bit for that? I was advised to just keep walking away from the vendor until they get mad and sell me products at the price I want, though I'm not sure that's the most efficient. If you're traveling around the US, you should definitely hit up Hawaii! It's humid, but there's always the beaches to help cool off! =)

Hi, sorry for this random comment, but it seems like you're a great reference for all interns heading off to China. I was just wondering how the internet was? I realize it depends on where you're placed, but in your opinion was internet readily available? My mom was almost hysterical when she read in the newspapers that China's internet was limited, she was counting on things like Skype to keep in touch. I watched your video and it looks like you had a great experience! It was very insightful, thanks for posting it!

hi, i heard from someone that you were in chaina at the moment, but from reading below it sounds like u hav just come back. i hope u dont mind answering a few questions. did u enjoy ur experience? wat age were u teaching? and wat is the cost of living out there? could you live off what u earn?

thanks

Hi there, sorry for the random add. Honor told me that you had just finished the China TEFL Internship, and that you would be a great source to have and I will definitely check out your blogs. Hope you had an ace time. Peace Out - Charlotte
