Hi all ... the good woman and I have accepted positions at CIT in Changzhou, Jiangsu. We start in September 2006. Now, after the fact, I am searching for as much info as possible on the school and the area.
The pay is good and the e-mails from one of the current FE couples at the uni is positive. The weather forecast for the next ten days has more sun than many areas we looked at. And, I noted that it isn't too far from PartyCentral, if that is in Shanghai. Not far from Suzhou, Wuxi and Jinan for that matter.
Don't hesitate to tell us what we have really gotten ourselves into, even if it is a negative situation. One can always remedy a bad decision with a following good decision.
now waiting for the words of wisdom ... okay, maybe that is too much ... must grab another beverage as my throat is getting dry.

I know absolutely nothing about the place, good or bad, but congrats on making the decision. Get ready for an adventure...

Definitely. Suzhou is Party Central. Shanghai is just a glossy suburb of us.

Oh, just out of curiosity, can I ask what "good pay" is in this case? (This is not a rude question in China. )

For me, RMB 4500
I am on pension and am debt free ... it's all about perspective ... enough to live comfortably and do some travelling when time presents itself.
