Hello,

Looking for info/contacts for folks living in Harbin. I may be accepting a job there in Nov. (I know just in time for the frigid cold).

Also any information on
Harbin Modern English Language Training Center
would be greatly appreciated. I'm a little bit nervous for how quickly they accepted my offer. Either there is a huge need for teachers there, or it makes me suspicious that they have a huge turnover.

Thanks, Shanna

I'm not looking for info written by the company themselves. I already know what they think about themselves. I'm interested in hearing if anyone has heard stories about what the school is like to work for.

Hello I might be moving there soon. What's it like living in Harbin? How bearable are the winters?

I ended up turning the job down and didn't go.

Do you ever watch the show No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain? He did an episode recently that you can see online about Harbin. The winters looked really, really bad.
