Saying GOOD-BYE to Wenzhou



The time has finaly arrived to move on. I should have moved on from away from Wenzhou a long time ago. But it's never too late.

I have been here too long working for peanuts and being cheated and lied to. I have received too many empty promises Teaching English in small cities just doesn't suit me. I think teachers all around the world are under paid for their hard efforts and long training years in University.

Wenzhou can go ahead and find foreigners that aren't' native English speakers and pay them peanuts, wow the big $800 a month, a crap apartment and maybe they will just pay half of my airfare too!!! I have had enough of these uneducated, rich, greedy, corrupt, rude, two faced "mono" peasants. One thing is for sure, i won't miss it too much. As i look back all these negative experiences have lead me to a better place perhaps like the promised land.

So, enough complaining, what about the solution? The answer is freelance your way teaching English to earn 150rmb an hour or more for a person. You can also make a group of students and charge up to 400rmb an hour. I think the best is, find foreign friends in foreign trade that can use your help. You can earn 100 times more and learn a ton about the international community. Enough of these long term investments, make it short term and enjoy your and reap the gratification that you deserve.
