@DanDare

Thanks again. Great info. Universities in Japan also have that "hard to get in, easy to get out" thing going. I noticed a job listing on this website that just came out looking for a native English speaking engineering teacher. I'm not qualified to teach engineering but I might send those people an email anyway to see if they have anything else.

Thank you again for the info. Chenggong sounds very nice. I'm really into bike riding. I'm assuming a tertiary college means kids around the age of 15-18 who are at schools affiliated with the university?

@Liumingkei

It's hard to say what the "go to place" to teach English is anymore. I taught in Japan when it was the hot spot and it had its problems although the money was good. I understand how you feel about going home but it's a very different place now, especially evidenced by how we're handling the virus and the fighting between governors and the federal government. The longer we are dumb about social distancing and testing, the longer this virus will be destroying the economy.

Thank you. That information was helpful.

What are the reputations of the universities in Kunming? Once I have a better idea of how the virus situation plays out I may try contacting some universities in the city's wiki entry.

"If you don't have the right look, chances are you will not get the job.
If you are not a 'native English speaker', your chances are lowered.
If you are not under a certain age, you will not get the job"

Exactly the same situation in Japan. I tried to hand off some of my private work when I left to a Chinese American friend and they said "We want a white person". And I could rattle off a ton of other examples. I live in a country where the president describes Mexicans as "rapists and murderers"...it sucks all over.
