which kind of school are u stay in? if there is no rules for clothes. how to wear up to you. but u cant wear to hot. we chinese think teachers should look serious and nice and should make good example for students. if u are lady u can wear dresses not only trousers. about make up i think light is ok.

Dear Nadia,

Thanks for you reply, I had to see what  CHinese culture dictates for teaching, I expected half as much as my Chinese teacher here always was dressed smartly. Thanks for your help, it'll help focus my work clothese towards a certain standard now, and make it easier to pack. HOw about the heat? lol! And I actually went back through the contract and found a section just on dress so it's good to confirm, most people don't consider teaching as a profession but I do and want to dress accordingly. Plus it's fun!

Hi Nadia,

The school I';m going to has actually said in the contract business dress required and I only found this yesterday rereading my contract! It sounds like a very stict school but very professional and that's what I want. I found it hard to stay completely focused if it's too casual and the teachers dress like the students.

I'll be working in a kindy school attached to Sun Yat sen (Ithink...?) or zhongshan daxue, sounds pretty go so far, I get to GZ in AUG. Can't wait!

lol welcome. aug is coming. if u work in a kindy school i dont think u need to wear business dress.
sun yat sen university is good university. i guess u have read some material about sun yat sen. he is a great man in china. the university 's name come from his name.
