We would be happy to share our experiences if you are seriously considering this. I DO NOT recommend the english teacher route. It is heavily populated with very odd people, and it is peppered with some really scary experiences. Also, do get a job before you come as it is really hard for expats to find one (non-english teaching ones) once they are here. My husband has a blog that you might find interesting (www.beuk.tv) and we'd be happy to chat over email or have dinner if you are ever in Beijing. Good luck!
