| Anything Else? | |
| My school’s an up and coming language academy with multiple centers in Beijing alone, many others leaping ahead in the rest of China. First thing I would say about my work is that it’s easy and the pay reflects the effort I have to do. Contract conditions are laughable. Before coming to Bei I was told that 2K is enough to afford a monthly apartment rental. | |

Housing in Beijing costs 4,000 RMB/month MINIMUM for anything livable in the city. Don’t believe any other figures.
