I think it really is unfair, but that shouldn't dishearten me (or anyone). It is still possible, right?! hehe. Bye for now. I wish you the best in life! And i hope that someday, perhaps, i'd be there in China, doing what i love. God bless! :o) You have good content that’s why :D

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I met a lot of singers and performers from the Philippines while I was in China. I was lucky enough to sing and perform with a wonderful group from Manila a year and a half ago. I only met a handful of Filipino teachers in China and I'm not sure how easy it will be for you to land a job. Most of the women I met were full-time singers and they supplemented with a part-time teaching job. I tried to help one friend find a job, but she wasn't able to get hired, even though her English is superb. China is really starting to crack down on English teachers now, which I find really disappointing. Most schools will only accept teachers of certain nationalities. Don't despair though. It is possible! Just remember, that if you are applying for teaching jobs, the schools that you interview with might not be so reputable. Teachers of all nationalities have to be aware of this, myself included. I hope that you are able to follow your dream. Best of luck to you! Hi Ice,

Uhmm since you are an english teacher there in China, i just want to ask if it is possible for non-Native english speakers (i'm from the philippines) to land a job as an English teacher (or assistant english teacher)? It has always been my desire to experience life in a whole new way. Thank you very much. God bless! hi weixiaotianshi :o )

We're pretty lucky that Taiwan retains so much culture and still remains so Westernized. Taiwan is a snap compared to North East China. I can't tell you how thrilled John and I are to be able to find anything we want, whenever we want it. It's great. It used to be hard to get a cup of coffee in Changchun. We had to travel 15-20 minutes by cab to get one. In particular, I remember the day I found Kraft Dinner in Changchun. Our staff talked about it for weeks after. I don't really like KD, but I couldn't resist buying it, just because it reminded me of home. Luckily, we don't have to deal with stuff like that here in Taiwan. Thanks Range.

I can remember the first time that I realize that just basic things were going to be a problem in Taiwan. However, the city you lived in is a lot more remote than where we live in Taiwan That was a cool story about your first stay in China.
