Hello Everyone!

I am seriously considering a teaching position in China. Being this would be my first teaching position and extended time out of the states, I have some general concerns.

Do most schools have multiple foreign teachers?
Is there a better area in China to teach for first timers?
Are most of the teachers younger?
Is it better to consider shared housing if it is my first time living out of the country?

I appreciate any help anyone has to offer!
Thank you.
