My name is Brandon and I am on here to find some materials, hints, and ideas for my staff and I. As well who knows maybe I will meet some good people I can add to my team here in Xi'an, China.

Welcome!

I pretty much only hear bad stories out of China (maybe because people take time to complain more than they do to rejoice.) What's your situation like over there?

Eric:
Originally I am from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. But I really do not feel connected to the Western world which is why I am no longer there. I have moved to China, not just a stint. I will probably still do some travelling but this has been a life long dream from when I was a young boy.

Mesmark:
I am actually loving China. I have met lot's of great people, both foreign and local, the food is great, the history is amazing. The company I work for is Chinese owned so I must work hard to enact change but the changes are happening. Overall I would say China is pretty decent, and Xi'an is great.

Default How many ESL free lancers?

Hi Brandon, Eric and all ESL friends! Many thanks for sharing your experiences with us - it's good I have found your site.
Does anyone have any idea how many professionals might be teaching ESL as free lancers around the world? I understand this number will difficult to establish but maybe somebody could try and guestimate?

Thanks in advance and talk to you soon,
Torsten
