How was the pay, if you don't mind the question? |

Not very different from Western expats who move to tier 1 cities in China and hole up in an overpriced expat bar, content to complain about how strange, weird, or backwards the world around them is without ever trying to understand the local culture and never bothering to learn a lick of Mandarin. |

RMB250 per hour but it was on call 'can you come now' stuff. Also I seldom did more than 2 hours at a time.
I was at Dalian Maritime and could bike to the U of Tech Press building in 15 mins, so travel wasn't an issue.
I've mentioned elsewhere I think, that I was correcting material that had been typeset. Accordingly, if the author got it totally wrong there was a limit to the changes that could be incorporated. |

| Thanks for the candor, Non Sequitur. That is an unfortunate scenario. Apologies for the hijack. |
