It seems that there is a huge amount of diverse thought on this subject.
1. How much, as a foreigner in China, would you expect to earn as a house cleaner - I'm sure that you'd feel that 60 yuan/hour quite reasonable - after all, you are, perhaps, accepting a relatively low Chinese-level income for teaching at the moment?
2. Accredited Chinese teachers do not earn 10 yuan/hour - I know many who are buying their own houses and driving expensive cars.
3. Perhaps, if you can only afford to pay $1/hour ... you don't deserve to have a house keeper/cleaner/cook/nanny/etc.
4. The Western media describes the the Chinese low wages as part of the Communist system ... I wonder.
4. It's often referred to as 'exploitation'. It reminds me of Palestinians building houses for Zionists in the occupied West Bank (My favourite subject).
I believe that if you require Australian documents to be notorized for an Australian visa, you'll need an Austalian lawyer (In China, this will be at the embassy or a consulate). If there are Chinese documents, they will require to be translated by an accredited translator.
After four years in Chengdu, came to Kunming - have never regretted it.
POLLUTION: Blue skies are unheard of, i.e., continuous smog. Large rivers downtown (and everywhere else) used to dispose of dead dogs from the pet market and, in the slow moving sections, bubbles with toxic gases.
Tell them you have a translation business (anything). Perhaps, produce a business card from your computer. It's they that need your business as a customer.
I'll pass on my hopes of becoming a shorter person, but it is impossible to ignore the article about illegal timber imports. Permit me to quote, "... trade between Myanmar and China in illegal timber has declined significantly since 2005."
My goodness, the trade has declined significantly down to 90% ... whatever next!
Those of us who have held a Foreign Expert 'qualification' are bound, I suspect, to smile at such titles as; deputy... and assistant.... I suggest that with a foreign (perhaps) PhD in Economics, they will be more qualified than their heads of department (even at 40). And after a 2-year probation period of being told that, "it's always been done this way," these unfortunate citizens will likely rush to renew their foreign citizenship application.
I think that this is a wonderful friendship project. A similar US project would be even better, perhaps President Obama will suggest something when he goes to visit. And I wonder if the British Council have an office in Iran?
I guess that what I'm saying is (between the lines) that there aren't any nuclear bombs in Iran until I actually see them.
This restaurant is totally overwhelmed whenever the 4th floor is opened ... especially at weekends.
The kitchen is too small, and the kitchen staff too inexperienced. As others have said, it isn't difficult to learn that an 'appetizer' is a 'starter' and should be served before the main course.
To explain that the kitchen is "Too busy" should mean. 'CLOSE THE TOP FLOOR!'
The owner must recruit more staff from India, and spend more time at the restaurant (He hasn't been here here for three months).
I am considering a visit to Kunming soon.
This information confuses me. There is another hotel on the opposite side of the street (opposite the university's West Gate) that is also called (as far as I remember) Yunnan University Hotel.
It is much less expensive.
Hotel reviews are much needed.
