Sounds great, Chris. I wouldn't want to be the only FT there, though. After the isolation of being in a small Japanese town, I'm kind of looking forward to going somewhere where there are other foreigners to hang around with and places to go. I wouldn't have to be in BJ or SH, though. I could go to other cities as long as there were lots of other people I could meet.
And so I need to make sure the school I accept a job at pays their taxes regularly, right? Can I just come out and ask during the app process? |

You might make the management feel awkward if you ask them directly, Solana, because not only should all educational institutions, like companies of any kind, pay their taxes to the government, but they should also be properly licensed to hire FTs.
After all, if you were to apply for a teaching job back home, would you be so direct as to ask if they were legally paying their taxes? You would probably be talking your way out of a job if you did that!
Unfortunately, it is a cold, hard fact that not all educational institutions in China are licensed to hire expats as teachers, so, as always, please be careful when applying.
The ones with reputable names certainly should be on the straight and narrow when it comes to paying their taxes. |

| Ok, you make a good point. But knowing nothing about which places are considered reputable in China (kind of more familiar with Japan), how in the world do I begin to judge? |

From what people say on these forums. That's why they exist in the first place!  |
