Interested in Kunming

correction to my first reply: Beijing doesn't suffer from wet weather, actually it tends to be dry and dusty as it is on the edge of a desert. But the winters there are cold.

International Teaching? I'm sure IT is not a commonly accepted acronym for that - I'm pretty sure we all thought you meant Information Technology (computers).

Anyway, yeah with international teaching you can squeeze in with the legion of other people trying to get a teaching position. If you have the right qualifications you can expect to find a visa-powered job with a wage anywhere between 3000 and 10000 RMB/month, but the well-paying jobs are scarce.

If you don't, you're SOL and you'll probably have to study for your visa or come in on a tourist visa, either of which would land you in illegality and hassle. Good if you're really young, but it gets old quickly.

On such a wage and very likely a difficult and unpredictable schedule, weekend trips to Beijing and Shanghai will also be rather scarce, but you may be lucky.

Personally I think a trip around the province is much more rewarding anyway.

P.S.:
If you were joking and IT is what it is supposed to mean anyway, we may need someone at our organisation (NGO-ish), if not you could start your own business or go to Hangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai or Chongqing. But Kunming is far superior to live in, unless you're the couchy kind of person, then it's probably Shanghai or Hangzhou.

Why not read up on existing threads before starting a new one with the same questions?

No offense or disrespect. Just hinting at pure IT logic in a forum with over 25,000 posts about a specific province and city.

Also ask your questions more clearly.

PS: there is a search bar.

Someone on here pointed out that the best way to search is to go to a search engine, and type in 'gokunming [and your search topic]'.
This seems to work really well, especially for specific search items.

You can disregard any advice I gave besides that Guizhou is scenic. I was referring to Information Technology. As bluppfisk hints, you should refrain from using the IT acronym if you're referring to something else.

I seem to be seriously out of touch with acronyms...my bad.
