Classes, Interviews, Apartments

Our TEFL work will be completed at the end of September, at which time most of us are expecting to begin work. There is a Chinese holiday during the first week of OCtober, so most will start our new jobs around the 2-3 weeks of October. So, it's probably a good chance to do a few sight-seeing trips during that time, though I've heard the prices are elevated during that week since it is holiday. I have been interviewing and doing demos at several different places, and trying to get a feel for different employers, and their expectations. It seems to be going well. I have a couple more this week, and should decide on a job by the end of the month. As for lodging, it depends somewhat on the employment. Some offer housing as part of the package. On the other hand, some people living here at the hostel have been in China for years, and have actually moved into the hostel since it is such a social and livable place. They claim that living in an apartment can get lonely, so the hostel is a good way to keep from puting yourself alone in your apartment every day after work. Very interesting.
