China Overview
What is so compelling
about China? The numbers are staggering: China has a population over 1.3
billion, a fifth of the world; the country spans nearly 10 million square
kilometers stretching from the deserts of Mongolia in the north to the tropical
Macau peninsula in the South China Sea, including some of the most densely-populated
areas on earth as well as some its most inhospitable, uninhabited regions;
and over 4,000 years of continuous civilization, one of the oldest in the
world.
A generation ago, China began to open up to the world. The very first points
of exchange, or "Special Economic Zones," were established in Shenzhen,
Zhuhai and Shantou in the Guangdong Province. Within a few years, Guangzhou
and the rest of the Pearl River Delta became part of an open coastal belt,
parts of which now include free trade zones, state-level economic and technological
development zones, and high-tech industrial development zones.
Teaching opportunities are available in many locations throughout the country.
All placements are in urban areas, as rural locations do not typically have
the resources to support English language schools.
Hands-on-knowledge of China is in demand in every industry: from consulting
to architecture to finance to medicine to engineering to sales. It is no
accident that China is the fastest-growing destination for foreign exchange
youth. Beyond the practical advantages of good pay and professional international
work experience,
a
year in the country allows our teachers to experience the best of historic
and contemporary China.

Food & Clothing in China
There
is no such thing as "Chinese food". With dozens of provinces, cultures,
and climates, plus thousands of years of history, such generalizations such
as those frequently made about "Chinese food" in the West are impossible.
At the very least, there are eight "classic" cuisines in China.
The Cantonese cuisine of Guangdong province is broad-based and eclectic,
emphasizing όber-fresh seafood, soups, and a sometimes shocking variety
of meats. The Min cuisine of Fujian, similarly focuses on soups and seafood,
though with a slightly more fresh-watered orientation. Top cehfs in Shanghai
are noted for their intense sauces and savory sugar-soy glazes, while traditional
restaurants there represent every province and nearly every nation.
Participants are responsible for their own meals.
Given that most Western clothing is made in China, fitting in requires merely
an international sense of style.
Visible piercings, other than standard earrings, and visible tattoos are
usually not acceptable. If you have either, please discuss them with us.
When teaching, women should cover their shoulders (sleeveless shirts are
acceptable, but very thin straps or tank tops are not). No low-cut necklines
or very short skirts. Open-toed shoes are acceptable.
Male Teachers should wear long pants (not jeans), short- or long-sleeved
shirt with a collar, and loafers or dress shoes. Long hair should be neatly
tied into a ponytail.
