Hello everybody,

First of all, I wish you all a happy and safe holiday season. Second, I am very interested in relocating from Japan to China in the near future and would like any info that you might have about jobs. I have seen wages ranging from lows around 3500 to highs of 10000 per month. Of course a lot seems to depend on the 'extras' and teaching load. Can someone who is already in a position in China tell me what is considered 'average' and what is 'good'. At present I have a very good University position in Japan, and although I know I won't make comparable money, I would still like to know what I can expect to receive (and what is required) from the better positions.

I would also like to hear recommendations (and warnings) about locations (i.e. cities) as well as specific schools (i.e. private companies/universities and/or high schools...public vs private...etc).

Thanks in advance for filling me in....and again...happy holidays to all...:>
