I have just recieved an inquiry from the school asking me if I would like to teach for them.

Me, too. I'm not interested (the very concept of "commercial college" turns me off), but I can't seem to even find out from them where they're located. Asi es China.

There was a thread that ran on Puiching/Peizheng a month or so ago. If you do a search it may answer some of your questions.

It's located north of Guangzhou near Huadu where the new international airport is going. They're working hard trying to get uni status.

It's generally a good school to work at; money is on time and no hassle. There are fewer hassles than many places in China, which doesn't mean life is perfect and getting stuff done through FAO can be a pain sometimes. There's a large foreign staff (65 now - 100 in Sept) so lots of opportunity to find someone like-minded to do things with.

Finishing two years here and seriously looking at a third. Any specific questions PM me.

The downbeat tone of those two posts was not deserved. Pui Ching has a rather solid reputation not only as a COLLEGE (forget that "commercial" in its name!), but also in the way it is treating its foreign staff.
It has a number of branches or schools affiliated with it, one, I think, in Hong Kong.
I posted a legal notice recently (maybe one month ago) about Pui CHing's directors being implicated in an embezzlement case; this doesn't mean the school is floundering.

If you care to know: Huadu is to the NW of Guangzhou, to some, in the sticks. But the environment is nicer than in Guangzhou. Still, some foreign teachers managed to hold down a second job in Guangzhou.

I would suggest that you ask the school for the email address of 2 or 3 foreign teacher's.

You can send a PM for further information.
