I pray often for the rest of her soul. I hope you will join me.
Day Dreamer,
You are welcome to stay here for a while. I may have a female Chinese friend staying also, but there's plenty of room, also XXX upstairs could put you up if his girlfriend is here. I don't drink coffee, but I know XXX would be pleased to hear about you.
I live on the medical school campus, in the #3 Foreign Teacher's apartments. I will have a friend come by tonight or tomorrow afternoon and send you the address in Chinese so you can show it to a taxi driver. I don't have a night class on Wednesday, so i'm here from 5 pm on. Will you have an interview that night at Perfect English or the next day? Do you want me to arrange an appointment at English First to compare facilities and offers. I would strongly recommend it, even if you think you know what you want. You might be in a better bargaining position. I can make a call to the HR person and set it up for whenever it suits you. I can also get a list of other schools if you are very unsure about those choices. Be aware that any school that hires you will make a fake diploma for you, because they must show a diploma to get your paperwork done.
Please don't sign anything without bringing it home for me to go over with you. I have been burned and have read and met others, so we can look it over and check for red flags.
I look forward to meeting you, and having someone my own age around to talk to.
Colleen
