Living in Buenos Aires spoiled me: Great cybercafes on every corner charge $2 pesos per hour, US$0.60, offering full access to my US websites and yahoo email on highspeed connections with no censorship.

Chinese internet censorship prevents me from taking a China TEFL job even though I learned Mandarin. Apparently the PRC employs thousands of teenagers who sit at workstations reading your email and blocking your websites. True?

I must have highspeed access to my yahoo email and my anti-Bush, anti-Neocon websites I own and manage. If I take a yearlong contract in China with my websites blocked, they would be shut down from lack of maintenance by the time my contract is up.

Where do you teach? Does your neighborhood have affordable cybercafes? Easy internet access? Any internet censorship? Razz

You'd be better posting this in the China forum as your question seems more specific to that country.
