I started at a new university recently. Another FT said they gave him full airfare reimbursement UPFRONT last semester and promised the same this year for him, so I also requested the same.

The school said OK and - no kidding - 2 weeks later called me into the FAO office and gave me an envelope with 18,180 rmb in it.

They paid for a ticket from Palm Beach International (Florida) to Hong Kong with a return for one year later AND the round trip from Shenzhen to Jinjiang.

I am laughing...All the way to The Bank Of China

Congrats!
Any plans for your "unexpected" big red wad?

[jeffinflorida]

Yep...Lots of traveling in and around China. My schedule is I am only working on Fridays until after National day when the Freshman start. So I will take a trip every Saturday or Sunday and return by Thursday until after National day.

Gives me some cash and time together and i am a happy American... (can we get rid of Bush now please...).

Jeff, I seem to remember some other good things that have happened to you since you came to China. You must be doing some things right, man!
