Rockies English is yet another shady English school preying on foreigneers due to the ownerships dual citizenship status. They refuse to discuss any issues you may have like travel pay and or the condition of the apartment.

The Guangzhou branch in particular is definately A stay away zone. Sunny the owner/branch manager will refuse travel pay and adiquate house. NO air condtioner, 5 by 5 hole in the kitchen.Sadly, any discussion with the main branch is met with open hostility.

Also this branch has no lisense. They will try to tell you that they can get your visa in Dailien the main office. Don't believe this. You must process your documents in the provience you teach. The end result will be a broken contract that you get blamed for and a severe reduction in the payment you should have receaved.

The good news it that you are not a North Korean and thus have the freedom and what-not to post on a message board.

The bad news is that you had to deal with Sunny. I know Sunny and he is EVIL which scrambled makes up VILE LOL! I have a right mind sometimes to tell Sunny's parents exactly what he gets up to when left to his own devices but screw it man, why slander a guy like that, you know? Just leave Sunny to his parents and let them deal with the CONSEQUENCES.

If you can't do that, then this will whip Sunny in line: tell him that his name is an anagram for 'yunsn', 'nysnu' and 'ns' if you were to omit some letters.

Sunny, I have your number, buster, it is only a matter of time, mock my words, boy, before you're going down, son! (nso, osn!)

His mother died a month ago. Thats the only reason I stayed. I figured the guy needed a break. Boy I should have sank his ship right off.

It's a mystery - first you are in Tianjin and then on this board warning everyone off...then you go to 'Enlischool' and ditto. Finally you want to know wheter a visa run to Laos is a possibility...

You spend a lot of your time between places... and less time in schools?
