Hi
I'm going to apply for a language school job somewhere in China around September.
I'm planning on moving on to Japan next year so I need to save a lot of money.
If I'm living outside Beijing and Shanghai how is salary vs, living costs? How much could I expect to save if I have a free apartment and don't go drinking or clubbing?
I worked in China from 2005-2007 but it seems things have changed a lot.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Living costs, saving money

Hi,
You didn't mention that hoe much they will pay you because salary for language teacher start from 8000 RMB to 20,000 RMB . So saving depends upon how much you will be earning.
Another thing is medical insurance , will they give you medical insurance in the contract if it is not then having any health problem takes a big amount from your savings. Another thing is food , it depends what do you like to have in your every day meal it varies from 35 RMB - 100 RMB /meal.
