So I have a dilemna.

Certain places in China (i.e. Yunnan) have less opportunities for ESL teachers than others. I've read on this forum that It's hard to find work in Yunnan. Is this true?

My concern is this:

AM I forced to apply to Public universities in lieu of private language mills If I wish to solidify work in Yunnan (Kunming) for only a short time period?

My desire is to work for a very short time period (4-6 weeks).

I always apply to shetty little language mills. I don't care if they're illegal.

My concern is with signing contracts at Goverment schools (like unis) that demand a year of your life. This just isn't going to benefit me or my goals and objectives.

So what to do?

Apply to unis and pull a runner after a month? or? Show up in town and check out cafe advertisments?

note: I like salaries of 2000-3000rmb/month so long as internet connection and accomadation are provided.

Please stick with the shetty little language mills (illegal if possible).

And perhaps they'll deport you as fast as you want to live in China...

I have to assume that the OP is trolling. The alternative is too hideous, even for China's current situation, vis a vis FTs.

Anyone who says that they are happy with 2 - 3,000 RMB a month must be trolling - nobody in their right mind would be happy with that.
