And frankly speaking Super-Frank can vouch for it.
I thought Guiyang was in China. Well, maybe Guiyang is but its EF may not be as I get that "feeling". Then, maybe its customers are well educated Chinese and its learning kids cannot distinguish colors.

Peace to ya
And
Cheers and beers

Not sure what you're trying to say there EG. What "feeling" do you get?

EF franchises are VERY different throughout China. If you have a good DOS who is not afraid to stand up for the teachers against the money hungry centre manager, the working environment is relaxed considering enforcement of dress code and office hours, class sizes are kept at advertised sizes and you are actually working in the EF school and NOT hired out to any school/kindergarten/company willing to pay (unofficially of course), then apart from the intensive summer/winter periods you'll have an easy time of it.

I'd strongly suggest taking enough cash to rent your own place then claim the housing allowance from the school - this way you can avoid beig in the 'loudest' apartment block in the city.

Good luck

Cheers EG, very kind offer.
Despite my many pithy comments on this forum, for once I know exactly what I'm talking about.

Have one on me.

There's a lineup of this kind of EF DOSs as well as EF teachers in China.

However, that below
