The quantity of airbags. And other elements of the interior can differ. Fewer air bags and less electrical equipment (e.g. electric seat adjustment), fewer buttons, lower spec audio, sometimes only electric windows in front, etc.

I wonder if the white powder is the skim coat. It is high in lime here, and quiet alkaline. If so, the walls are ready to paint.

As for price, have you seen the price of wallpaper? About 400rmb/sqm. You could buy a roll of good quality paper for that back home. About 2006 I saw woodchip for sale at 100rmb/roll, special offer in B&Q Shanghai.

I think all of those you listed are franchised outfits. This means a lot depends on the franchisee, and how desperate for money, or greedy, they are.
Individual schools listed may have a bad rap in one city, and good in the next. A lot also has to do with the Director of Studies at the school. The DOS is a glorified title for senior teacher. A good DOS will act as a buffer between the foreign teachers and the local management/owners. A bad DOS will be the management's dog. When you speak to the DOS, how you feel will have a lot to do with how you will fit in.
At the end of the day, althought franchises are crap, they get you in-country with flights, give you experience if you are new to the game, provide the opportunity to look for better work in your second year.

@Delibeli,
You summed it up perfectly, TIC.
If you accept that you are just a cash cow, and the management will think that they own you, then you are in the right frame of mind to get by.

We used to have an expression in the Army, 'At the end of the day, they can't shoot you, and can't make you pregnant'.
I know that is totally un-PC, but TIC yay!

Off topic, but related to theme songs. When we watched terrestrial TV we listened to the whole theme, even if only in the background while we quickly made a cup of tea or finished off some other chore. With streaming, or watching box sets, we quickly FF over the theme song and titles. We are missing a lot of great music.
Everything else said by the last two posters can be captured within the idea that we no longer live in a society, we live in a market.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
