K i have gotten a contract from some school called Oden English Training School in beijing.

I have no experience teaching english and they offerd me
5000rmb a month for the first 2 months, and 6000rmb there after.
8000rmb air fair (after being talked up from 6000rmb, and me being talked down from 9000rmb)
My own appartment fully furnished(after talking them out of a room mate)
30hours of work a day, 10 in office 20 teaching.


I have signed the contract, and so have they (with a stamp)
I am still keeping in contact with the girl who btw doesnt speak great english.

so do you think its a scam? I don't know how they could be scamming me, I mean the contract is signed by us both...
and its not like, right when i sighned the contract they started ignoring me, the girl is still answering questions I have.

what would be the point of getting me out there?

sorry about my english, its 6am and im rushing this.

I don't think this forum will help you much. You should try the China Job Board Forum, I'd expect. There's a link on Dave's home page.

Check them out first.
Get the money first.
Make sure you have a return ticket or funds for one.
Good luck.
