There were many things that surprized me after I came to China. Therefore, I would like to start a list of websites and brief words of advice for people to look at before coming to China. Here is the beginning of the list. We can work together to make the list longer and more complete.

1. Read here for advice about travelling and working as a teacher in China. This includes a warning about agents and contract negotiations.

2. Check here for any important announcements about living in China:

3. The "Center for Disease Control and Prevention" tells you what vaccines to take before travelling. It also has advice on staying healthy while you are overseas.
