Thank you all for the replies! What a wonderful community we have here : )

@wilcoman How exciting! I would love for us to get connected one way or the other! And yes, hopefully it goes well for both of us!

I really appreciate the replies!!! Thank you so so much, everyone!!! @WinterFerret my school is 12-16 minutes (depends on the route) to the nearest station, which is East Xujing. It’s about 5km…which I don’t think I’d mind walking on good days but I heard the traffic can be intimidating. I have not ...

So, I have made the decision move to teach in Shanghai. I am all set. I'm sure it will be a great learning experience. I'm also looking forward to learning more about China during this time. The plan is to stay near the school for the initial phase. I understand that will be in Xujing. What's the en...

@Psyguy Pardon my clumsy fingers. What I was trying to say is that I am only able to start in an IS on January, after the winter break. I am unable to leave earlier.

I'd be happy if Netfilx works there! So many different views about the salary! I am actually an experienced teacher. I have a BA in education and have taught in public schools at home (not international schools) over the last 12 years. I probably could get a better salary in a different school but t...

I am so glad I found ISR! What would I do without all of you! I'm a female so I don't have to worry about spending money on dating Shanghainese women in Shanghai. ;) But wow... I'm surprised how the salary can differ so greatly from school to school. A few questions regarding that: 1. Does IS genera...

Gosh! Thank you all os much for your input! The information shared is very helpful and it is so appreciated! This is my first international teaching position. I am not too fussy about the salary at the moment (though I do have a mountain of student loan to pay off! (will be sending USD 1500 home eac...

Thank you so much for your replies! Well, I am not into nightlife so I should be fine. Could you give me a rough idea of what the basic living expenses are like over there? Utilities (I will be living alone in a one bedroom apartment). Groceries + maybe eating out on weekends. Internet. VPN. Phone P...

Making a move to China to teach in an International School! I'm very excited but would need the advice of some of you here! Salary is RMB 25,500 per month after tax. Housing provided. Utilities and everything else on my own. Will I do OK in Shanghai with this package? Is it decent? To what extent ca...
