Hi!

I will be teaching in China this summer for 4 weeks. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience teaching in summer camps in Zhejang? What were your thoughts? did you experience any problems? Is there anything that I should be aware of before I leave?
I know this is a very broad email, just want to hear about other experiences?

Natalie: a short-term job sounds like a great way to dip the old toe in the China ESL water, and find out whether China is for you or not. I haven't 'done' a summer camp myself, but it's been suggested to me by another poster. Hope you get some replies.

I did hear that Zhejiang is nice (no personal experience though).

Natalie,

I have no summer camp experience in Zhejiang, either, but I taught in Hangzhou for a couple of years. Expect the summer to be VERY hot and humid. I live in Texas, so it's about the same here as there.

Hope you have a good experience!

Hi, everyone
I was accepted to teach at Zhejiang Summer camp this year, but I will not be able to make it there.
I've got a job arranged for next 2 years and my employer wants me to start from July 1st instead of September 1st. Cannot refuse you see.....
I was wondering, maybe one of you would like to take my place there in Zhejiang????

What are the details? where is the job? for how long? ....

I am actually still waiting for my reply, but I definatly want to keep my options open. What would I have to do to apply for your position?
