working in china is like being a slave. all the agents try to suck your blood. 5000-6000, shared apartment, limited use of electricty etc even if u have a masters degree is a JOKE. i did it for 1 year and all i can say is never again. better to save cash by working in your home country and then go on a 3 week VACATION to china. saves u a lot of headache. agents always compare with the chinese salaries. as if a foreigner from the us or eu eats noodles 3 x a day, smoke some crap cigarettes and never takes a cab anywhere. they always say that in china u can live on 5000 and still save cash. yeah right hahahaha
