You have weird ways of spelling Chinese place names: Nanchang in Jiangxi.

Perhaps, but Nan [south], Chang [long], Jiang [river] and Xi [west] are separate characters. Pinyin makes more sense when broken into its components. And the "spelling" isn't changed by doing so either. Capitalization is punctuation.

Cheers for the wise cracks chaps but what about the place .

Nanchang is an OK city.

I have given a review of it elsewhere: basically it's a sleepy little place, not much to do, but relatively (RELATIVELY) clean and wide-open. Not a lot of tall buildings and not much of a nightlife, I'm afraid. Few foreigners, from what I could tell.

The food: bland. Better in nearby (to JX) Changsha.
The people: short and not very fashionable.
The shopping: yikes.

I think you could do better, but if the school's good, it wouldn't be a bad place to spend a year.
