2.Other working options with relevant benefits as above according to time worked.

Dandong is in the north east of China, situated beside the Yalu river. There are many inexpensive attractions for your days off including the beautiful and historic Great Wall of China.

Local costs =

transport: bus 1RMB, taxi 5RMB, soft-sleeper train to Beijing 270RMB.

Shopping = instant noodles 2-3RMB, chocolate bar 5-10RMB, coke 2.5RMB, rice (1kg) 4RMB, loaf of bread 2-4RMB, chicken fillets (1kg) 18-20RMB, packet of imported pasta 12RMB, jar of coffee (instant) 30RMB, local grapes in season (1kg) 2-4RMB, imported grapes 15-25RMB, tomatoes (1kg) 2-3RMB, beer 2-10RMB. Tailor-made clothing is anything between 40RMB for a shirt, to 400RMB for a wool suit. Kung Fu lessons are about 100RMB for the term, and gym membership is 50RMB per month.

Thinking about coming? You need to check with your doctor as to the recommended vaccinations for this area (Tetanus, Hep AandB, and Typhoid are recommended on the Aussie Traveller website), and do be warned that if you intend to travel to the south of China on your hols, some areas are in malarial hot-zones.

There are many options for getting here. No idea if you will pop back to Europe first, or if you will be flying from Melbourne, so will include lots of suggestions and you can see which fits:

a) Direct flight into Dandong, via Pudong Airport in Shanghai (flights depart 4 times per week {Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun}, less than a 2hr flight from memory and departure time from Shanghai is 13:10 if that is any help for connecting flight info). The airport is 15min down the road, and our smiling team will of course be on hand to greet you and whisk you to dump your bags, have a shower and then check out the area if you are not too jet-lagged. The flight code is CZ-6755, and baggage allowance is 20kg for checked in luggage. They are very strict about the checked in luggage weight (I’ve managed up to 24kg without being slugged with any additional fees), but I’ve never been checked for hand-luggage allowances, so if you have the need to bring a heap of stuff I suggest doing your best sherpa impression and lugging it all on in different ‘Duty Free’ bags – the 8th wonder of this modern world in my view ;)

b) Arriving into any of the international airports (Beijing, DaLian {which is a 3.5hr taxi journey away Y130 RMB}, Shenyang {which is a 3hr taxi journey away Y140RMB}) and then making your way to Dandong. There is a cool little Chinese guy located in Chinatown in Melbourne (Little Bourke St), called 'Hua's Travel' and he can always get you the best deals for flying to China. he is a gem, his decor in the Travel Agency has not changed since 1989, but hey, cheap flights, so no complaints from this end!!

c) Public transport it here from anywhere around China - Beijing is an overnight journey away, Shanghai is 24hrs away by train. Just depends on you, the time-zone you just came from, your budget and timeframe plans for your stay in China (travel before or after working).

Think that's about all we can offer information-wise right now, but if you have any specific questions please feel free to email us and we'll gladly answer them asap.

Our phone number is 0086 415 2161070/ 0086 415 2161072

Best Bilingual School -- Friday, 26 December 2008, at 10:18 a.m.

Seeking Two Qualified Candidates:
*Maths/Sciences Instructor *Social Studies/History Instructor International Secondary Division of Best Bilingual School

School Description:
Best Secondary School is the newest part of Best Bilingual International School. Its aim is to cultivate students who are planning to pursue a higher education either domestically or abroad. We designed a domestic and international division, each geared towards its respective goals. Once students make their educational decision, we place them into the appropriate division for a comprehensive six-year program. We treat the years from 7th to 12th grades as a whole period to create the most personalized educational plan for the students possible.

The International Division integrates a Western educational curriculum with Chinese standards to provide a comprehensive six-year program. This will allow students to complete the mandatory domestic requirements, while preparing for the necessary tests (PSAT, SAT, TOEFL, etc.) and completing the college application process for universities in the US, Canada, England, and other English speaking countries. Methodological foundations governing our approach to secondary instruction and curricular development are based on western approaches to teaching, emphasizing the cultivation of analytic, critical thinking skills and creativity in students studying in all content areas. This includes life experience credits interning in potential areas of future job interest, community service credits, and participation in international activities (from participation in expos/exhibitions in Shanghai and Beijing to the visiting of overseas partnership schools). Textbooks used in class have been chosen based on a process and criteria created to determine what are the most effective textbooks currently in use in the US and which books among that list best address student needs in each content area. Note: Students are also instructed from kindergarten onward to be environmentally aware with this emphasized both in student life and school practices.

Teaching Duties and Requirements:
Note: While native like fluency in English is required, the hiring process will emphasize the applicant's knowledge of expertise in the areas below, with whether they come from a native speaking English country being secondary to the latter.

Mathematics and Science Position: Successful candidate should have both expertise and experience in the field of maths and sciences. This includes a knowledge in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, etc. and the Earth Sciences, Life Sciences and/or Physical Sciences.
