Hello Viajante,
I am not Russian, I am from France ;)
Haha, you definitely made the point with the bargaining skill ! ;)
Thank you all for all those answers ! Very useful !
@culture : I am not going to teach English, I will be a lecturer in university teaching my mother tongue, French.
It is actually almost impossible for a non-native speaker to teach English in Asia, because as you said, they already have a lot of people able to fill the position on site.
I assume as well that English teacher are paid more than the others. I think that is one of the reason why my salary will be that low.
I actually kind of freak out when I saw the other threads on this forum, but I realized after that most of you guys are talking about English teacher position, which usually make quite a difference in salary.
As for the tutoring, I was wondering how much I can ask per hour ? So it's about 100 RMB ? It is not legal right ?
Is it that expensive to travel around ? I can't really figure out how.
I am the backpacker style, going on cheap hostel and avoiding too touristic stuffs.
The train didn't seem that expensive to me, so accomodations are the problem ?
Anyway thank you all for your kind answers !
It's a "she" AlexKMG ! Thank you very much for your answer !
When all you guys talk about western food, are you talking about restaurants or doing groceries in Metro, Wallmart or Carrefour ?
No results found.
The food is really good, went there with 3 friends, all of us ordered different things and all of us were amazed by the food quality.
However, there is a huge problem with Silver Spoon: it's never open!
How those guys can do business? I have tried to go back there many times (I work in the area), ever the restaurant was closed (their closing day is Monday, but they are closed on Tuesday, Wednesday...) or they are open but nobody works at the kitchen so they can't do food.
You really wonder if there is someone managing this place. I feel like the staff open and/or work only when they want to.
Been there many times for bkfst, lunch or dinner. The food is good, the pasta are specially awesome, but as someone else said, avoid the pizza.
The service is usually good and the staff nice, however my friends and I were extremely disappointed by the staff's attitude the last time we went.
Prague cafe usually serves until late (9pm) and close late as well (11 pm or later). We went there for my birthday, it took forever to get served (we waited for one hour for some of the dishes, nobody was served at the same time so we had to eat separately) while the restaurant wasn't busy at all, But the worst was that the waiters literally kicked us out at 9:30pm in a quite rude way.
We were extremely surprised since it doesn't close that early usually, so we went for a last drink to Oreilly's instead. Few minutes later, the whole staff from Prague cafe went to Oreilly's as well for a get-together.
This is really unprofessional, if the restaurant was really closing sooner on that day, they should have told us from the beginning instead of kicking us out that way. I supposed the managers were not here that night, so the staff decided to close earlier for partying. Unreal.
The website is dead...
I've heard this place was open 24h, can someone confirm ?
As well, is there any bus going directly there ?
Yes it's not around Wenlin Jie, it's downtown near Nanping jie, and it's definitely called 57.
