Q: Favorite modern building in China?

What do you think. We've all heard of these ugly example of modern architecture propping up everywhere (the CCTV underwear building I name you!) But does anyone have any affections for some good looking pieces of design? I think the Shanghai bottle-opener tower is genius.

I like Kingkey 100 in Shenzhen. Why. It is pretty tall which is always impressive, the design differs from the traditional box shape of many tall buildings. It is the biggest billboard I have ever seen. Sometimes they will show text or phonenumbers from bottom to top on the sides of the building.

by the way, there is no way of pronouncing the name of this building without saying "Kinky"

Everyone knocks it, but I love the CCTV building. Daring designs are the best.

A:1. Native speaker. 2. Bachelor's degree, minimum. Apostilled. They stopped recognizing online degrees several years ago. . 3. Either a teaching certification from your home country/iPGCE or a 120 hrs TEFL course. Apostilled 4. Criminal background check from your home country issued within the past 6 months. Apostilled. This is rigid. The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries. -- Spiderboenz
