That would be well worth doing for 66,000 a month! Heck, that's a damn good salary even in London!

If you asked me a few months ago, I would have said yes. However, after beating my head against the wall for about two months, I've been brainwashed by those who would have us believe outrageous salaries. Today, I say it's 100% real. English teachers deserve more than that. The sky's the limit.

I'm going along with saint57. Only RMB66000 each month? For 33 hours a week we shouldn't take less than RMB88000 each month. Wink

It could be a new Chinese ploy. Offer a high salary in the application, make the same typo in a few e-mails (if bothering to reply at all), get the foreigner to come over. Take Him/Her for a meal, give timetable and be out of office when foreigner realises true salary.

If collared by foreigner 1. blame previous managment, 2. blame reqruitment company 3. blame language barrier (higher numbers don't translate so well) 4. Admit guilt (while hell is freezing over).

I will bet my life somebody will fall into that trap.
