hehehe.... yeah, I don't blame you. I can't see Nanchang leaving much of an impression on anyone
if they're just passing through. Oh well. More Nanchang for me!

yeah, nanchang is a nasty piece of work on the surface - at least you werent the foreigner who
pissed in the corner in the public toilet cos you couldn't see any urinals - and then washed your
hands in the huge huge bucket of 'warm' water near the door........yes its what you think.
I remember someone telling me about a public toilet in jingdezhen in '98 that was a bus with no
floor over dug trenches, guys n gals squatting between the seats. when the trenches got full, they
dug some new ones in front and drove the bus forward a few meters. Does that ring any bells
confucious?
Still, things have changed everywhere in the last 6 years - i'm sure now they have a brand new
maglev toilet by now or something.

My research leads me to believe that the pay scale among state run universities is fairly even in
the eastern part of the nation with a few exceptions.
High density cities may pay a little more but the extra pay is offset by the much higher cost of
living.
It also seems to be the case that the younger teachers and students gravitate toward the bigger
cities for social reasons. I am a former professional musician (my early years) and i have
traveled the US and I'm really not interested in glitz, glamor, or girls on drugs. I am interested
in the academic and the mature social experience, the candid street experience.
I am also interested in teaching on the university level, not for teaching for private
middleschools. I've done the private school trip here in the U.S. and my experiences run the
gamut. Joe's English school and Good Guy Harry's Lucky School just don't work for me. I've
investigated them and I'm not impressed with what I've read. This goes for Korea and Japan as well.
All for now,
Lou

I grew up in nanchang, everything has two sides. however, if you want to learn mandarin and have a
deep understanding of chinese culture. That is the place! Most of Nanchangers are very nice and
friendly to foreigners. These years, the local government is trying hard to establish a good image
of nanchang, which results in a bunches of reconstruction of buildings, roads and parks. and also
you have easy access to the countryside life around the suburbs of nanchang which contributes to a
considerable part of lifestyle and culture of china. I am sure You will not be disappointed in
terms of Life Experience instead of Money. Good luck!

How about drugs on girls?

Its great to intellectualize in a forum just for the sake of a lot of ones and zeros making other
folk wonder about one's wonderfulness but when you pose a specific problem and then people come
out of the woodwork (especially when they would rather be off eating paddlepops) and stand up for
you like tetsuo and i, or even make negative comments like confucious (lets not read that wrong -
negative is also what you need to make any informed decison and i happen to agree with what conf.
said about the nanchang Ag university) then the polite thing to do is to take the content from the
public into the private sphere if that's their condition, which it was on reflection.
As for what you've 'read' about china - i'd be careful, i'd wager dollars to donuts that you've
misinterpreted it. (and the educational environment in the US and china differs enough to not
warrent making assumptions from one about the other)
mmmm donuts

I think the campus of this univesity would be a nice place to live, especially if you like living
away from the city center... Plenty of tree and flower and hiking in the local hills....
As to Nanchang I think is is like most cities in China when it comes to environmental issues...
Things that I liked about Nanchang where big computer market, hongcheng outdoor market and plenty
of fresh vegetables...
Good luck,
Phil
