I guess the somewhat cryptic nature of my previous post worried a few people. Let me deliver the full story -
I was offered a position teaching in the Taizhou Jiaojiang district in Zhejiang province, job prospects aren't so hot in Australia right now, so I decided to accept. I'm just waiting to hear back from the school so that we can work out all the details.
Should be exciting and right now the plan looks like working in China for awhile (saving some money, paying down some debt, exploring and having bespoke suits made) then probably coming back down to Australia, seeing what we haven't managed to yet and then heading off to Europe to go to Paris and travel the Camino as planned. We've just inserted a bonus Chinese excursion for cash and effect.

Looking forward to when you do the europe thing, you'll be much closer to England that way and can pop by to say hello.
That actually looks ok, right on the coast. They have kryptonite lasers, so you can feel safe. Sorry, no train, but they do have a bus station and the intercity buses are usually clean and very punctual. Intracity buses will be about US0.3 or less for a long ride, and taxis about US1 for ~4-6km. It's also a climate made for motorbikes, and this will probably be the majority of personal transport.
You will be away from the glitz of the big cities, and that's my perferred environment here. More real.
Area developed beginning in 221BC, which is encouraging. They have a different dialect, so I can't give any pointers.
