Thinking about going back to China !

[Alejandro Indigo]

My changchun friends

 As some of you might know I left Changchun to come back to my country last March

...some of you wouldn't believe I was gonna leave. but I did. Life's good here, I don't have much to complain about but jobs are scarce and even worse... I'm forgetting how to speak Chinese and I don't like the feeling of it... because when I left I was in my linguistic prime, learning proverbs and all.

So as I'm seizing my options  I'd like to ask you if you know about any job offer please contact me.

I've a  TESOL, IELTS and TOEFL all passed, and 4 years of teaching experience in China.
I can teach spanish, english and I can sing my ass off while I play the guitar.

if anyone knows about anything please let me know.

I miss you all.

Alex.

I miss you all

Fratello, do your homework first. Unfortunately the new policies for teaching english in china are changed. By law, now schools and unies can only employ mother tongue (even though if not qualified teachers). Meaning to say that now, no matter if someone can teach well english, they will look at your passport first.

Those who will propose other deals, you have to know will go against the law.

So i suggest you look for other jobs, rather then teaching.

[Chris Knight]

Alex, you should also know that "rules" are very flexible here. What may be SOP in Shanghai may not even be considered elsewhere.

[Alex]

Yes Chris, you are right. I just wish for Alex that he can find a legitimate job, without incurring in any troubles, since he's married with a local. 

Of course, is then up to him to decide. 

[Chris Knight]

If he's married to a local, he (by law) should be able to get a 2-year residence visa, without having an actual job. I know. I tried to get one, and was told there was no such thing, even though I knew that was not true (and ... I had a job). The main thing is, Alex, you can't quote laws. They are too fluid. They can change at the drop of a hat.

[Alejandro Indigo]

Thank you Alex and Chris for your comments, I am aware of the changes in immigration laws that have taken effect lately so as Alex said, I should try finding other jobs. I think you are right, Fratello. And hopefully being married makes it easier, even though I only knew I could get a visa after being married and living in China for 5 years.  Next time I don't think teaching will be an option, but I'll be looking around, and I will surely visit sometime this year. 

Happy new year guys :)

Looking forward to seeiNg you again. With your skateboard!

[Alejandro Indigo]

Yes, my skateboard is coming too. Though I can't wait to see my guitar and my amplifier so I can use them to make you smile again with all the noise I make
