Interesting. A couple of weeks ago I was looking at various job offers. E-mailed Susan Chao at Putian U. Any one ever heard of it? The ad mentioned something like 8,000 for 20 hours, can't remember.

So I get an e-mail from her saying, "Gosh, that position is filled. But we still need two foreign teachers...at 2,200 to 3,500"

Does the odor of deacy linger in Denmark?

Ever more schools pay 8000 or a little less. Have you seen an advertisement of this school?
I visited Putian in Fujian province some time ago. Like most other Fujian towns, - the only exception I can think of is Xiamen! - Putian is uninspiring. It is quite small, has one KFC, one McDonald's, maybe one 3-star hotel, a fairly nice pedestrian zone and a large temple on its outskirts but little else. You will be a walking sensation every day. If I were you, I would not swap Henan for Fujian, and I would certainly not move to Putian even if pay is as good there as in Shijiazhuang.

bait and switch tactics, what can I say except to respond with some of your own. Feign interest in the job and then when you are about to sign on the dotted line just say you've got a job elsewhere offering a better salary, etc.

I have only passed through Putian briefly, but I think Roger's assessment is accurate. There is a beautiful spot in the mountains near Putian called Qingyunshan. I have written something about it on my website. It is one and a half hours by bus from Putian.
