As the world’s fastest growing nation, China has its eyes set on becoming the world’s next superpower and with a population in excess of 1.3 billion people, who is going to argue?
Letz Live is eagerly on the hunt for enthusiastic individuals who are interested in living and working abroad in China. Grab a bicycle and join the locals in riding the streets of Beijing or explore the ultra modern city of Shanghai. Looking for something a little slower paced? Why not venture up to the tropical Hainan Island - China’s very own version of Hawaii - or spend time in the colonial British city of Hong Kong?
Since the largely successful 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Chinas thirst for learning the English language has grown in epic proportions. As an English speaking foreigner, you will be treated like royalty and feel like the most popular person in town. The Gap positions are very similar to those that would be expected of Gap assistants in the United Kingdom or Australia. Applicants will be assigned to the school’s boarding facilities and will be associated with the schools’ academic, performing arts or sporting curriculum.
''I had the typical Chinese experiences; climbing the Great Wall, sliding down the Great Wall, eating bulk amounts of rice and drinking mass amounts of tea… and then there were the other not so typical experiences; riding horses with Mongolians, trekking through rice fields and mountain villages, bathing in local hot springs, and even owning the stage with my own rendition of Lady Gaga in a Chinese nightclub. I had so much fun and have come home with so many stories to tell''
