A pity, surely a school can decide if a teacher has the abilities they want. There are so many Chinese teachers for whom to teach English is a challenge, so someone from Germany or the Phillippines would have a beneficial contribution.
And yes it's true, often non-native English speakers know English grammar better than native speakers!

Any word yet on whether the other branch, at TongDe on Beijing Lu, has opened yet? Is it likely to be just a counter like downtown, or will it be a restaurant with its own internal seating?

The bus stop for Xi You Dong is called Xi You Dong zhan on Bus C10.
I couldn't believe that Baidu gave the English name for Xi You Dong as "West Hole Park"!

Wow, the map at that link is very old HFCAMPO, it even has the wrong name for the airport. Anonymous Coward feels that lines 4, 5 & 7 are hypothetical, has there been any official revision of the subway plan for the city?

As for the issue of the usage of the term laowai/waiguoren, I also have found back in Australia when I went to Chinatown, i heard Chinese people call me laowai - when I am in fact the local! And with some of my Chinese friends I said that since the word 'yangren' means someone who came from across the ocean, in Australia you Chinese guys are the 'yangren' - they were just totally confused, and said no, we've always learnt that yangren means people like you!
So i think those terms are not related at all to the country in which the speaker is currently located, they are not geographic terms but rather cultural.
So i thought perhaps it is like Jewish people and their term Gentile. Jewish people located anywhere in the world would call a non-Jewish person a Gentile.

So maybe both those ancient cultures have a word that means not just foreigner but more like outsider.
