You don't need a TEFL or any other certificate to teach here, it's a myth, sadly one still propagated by the ignorant.

Wow! Ii must have been travelling on the wrong buses. I've travelled from Zhuhai to Sanya and Zhuhai to Nanning, and I have to say, never, ever, ever again!

Oh please JayKnox, not another one of those 'this is my experience in China so it must be everyone else's experience too' posts! Who made you the spokesman for every foreigner in China? Do you know MOST foreign teachers personally? If so, did you canvass their opinion on this? I didn't think so. You also choose to ... Full Comment>>
