Just got this as a response from one of my apps:
I regret to tell you that the experience of hiring someone who looks Asian, even though they have excellent English, is one that the Director does not wish to repeat.

This must sound unkind to you, and I regret having to say it.

Maybe discrimination is a fundamental human need that settles people's own insecurities. In a country with many cultures and colors, it is easy to discriminate based on skin color. But in Taiwan, they discriminate between "Chinese" and "Taiwanese", even tho we all have yellow skin and slanty eyes. This is a new one. The students hold the misconception that a Chink like them could not possibly have the same, if not better, English ability as someone with blond hair and blue eyes. Instead of welcoming me with open arms for growing up and assimilating into a culture that they all want so badly to be a part of, I am shunned.

[shrug] I have a better offer right now than they had anyways. So ptbtpbhtphbtphbtphbt on them! nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh! hehe.

Found on the China job postings today:
Teach in Yunnan
PLEASE CONTACT Mr. Wee Wee at ...
"So ... is 'Wee' your first name? Or last name? Oh wait [slapping self in forehead] it's both! My mistake. So may I call you Wee?"
Heheh. I'm so stupid.

I'm madly sending out resumes, since I am pretty much stuck indoors for fear of aggravating my condition, and am (as usual) in no mood to study. Today I chanced upon this job post:
Teach in Liaoning
Teachers wanted with or without qualifications
Right on ... I don't care how desperate I am ... I ain't going there ... see map (upper right hand corner, by North Korea) ... BRRR ...
EnVaDoR suggested this alternate post headline:
Teach in Liaoning
Wanted: Bums off the Street

At any rate, I'm happy cuz so far I have amassed 3 offers that I'm kinda brewing upon while seeing if I can get anything better. =)

OK! Qing Zao Jiu Fei Tang it is for now! (since I actually have it on hand in capsule form and it approximately fits my condition)
