    Why don’t you guys leave if it’s that CRAZY? It’s not like finding another ESL job would be hard.

    Its not about finding another ESL job or not. We already travelled a whole day to this craphole far from Chengdu. Had a huge argument since we arrived but managed to cut our working hours.

    Nevertheless, since second day, I already realised that for me, personally, it was not worth it.

    Now once again asking if anyone recommends me a special column where to warn about the agent and her promises? For the sake of the teachers and newcomers who may not be aware of the relation between the required work and offered salary.

    I happen to be in that Crazy Camp right now. I have to admit that it is PRETTY CRAZY and feebleminded! By the time I get out of this “Death Camp” I might be as crazy as the students and the staff here.

    There are nearly 1000 students pulled here by their parents to have even more INTENSIVE training (7am – 10 pm) than they have in their daily lives. The organisers are once again making shit loads of usury on parents foolishness.

    The whole idea of this madness is to lock their poor minds even more…the program is military alike, has barely to do anything with English learning as a language rather than shouting out systematically imperialistic and patriotic slogans IN ENGLISH. Obviously the students have no idea what so ever, what do they read from their books.

    There are 12 low paid foreign teachers who have to cope four huge classes per day (40-50 students). Most of us ended up here literally through lies by the agent who makes a RIDICULOUS CUT from our work and foremost – nerves!

    Regarding that controversial figure Mr. Yang, he will appear here by the last day and we have to be with him on the stage.

    In conclusion, guys please tell me if there is a separate thread or column where to report the name, number and the company of this deceitful AGENT. Let there be no-one else in the future stepping into this ‘bucket” as we did.

    Well, one of my friends (Latin girl) is in an urgent need of finding a new flatmate.

    Are you still available?

    I think Nele would be the right person to ask from. She practised it back in Estonia. I personally haven’t even seen it but I’m aware of this magical sound it creates.

    Moreover, the instrument is really expensive!

    Much appreciated for the details !

    Seems that the price difference atm is pretty minor:

    Return CD – HK = 1970 rmb

    CD – SZX = 1870 rmb (fnetravel) Edreams, btw, was surprisingly even more expensive.

    Any suggestions for some other sites?

    Btw !

    Wouldn`t it be easier to go to HK via Shenzhen?

    May there be any problems with Shenzhen visa, crossing the border or anything else?

    Just did the inquiry. According to some posts, since 2011 Chinese Embassies are not keen on issuing any visas for foreigners in Vietnam as well as in Cambodia.

    Wanted to check if anyone has a different experience lately.

    Agree!

    There are some very basic aspects (sense of logic, service, problem-solving management) to be developed on a grass-root level before anything remarkable starts to happen on the global scale.
