Paperwork
It is the second time that I am applying to teach in China and it is the second time that I do not have a written contract in hand when boarding the plane.
Last time everything went well and I expect the same to happen this time. However, for the reasonable and careful at heart, this approach seems rather reckless or euphemistically: adventurous. Maybe, one has to ascribe these qualities to oneself when venturing into the legal void, on the other hand, I expect great returns that come with great risks.
