Well done for not answering the question but simply ploughing straight in with they rip off foreigners. I live in Guangzhou and run my AC at night for around 8 hrs a day, my monthly electric bill is around 280 - 400 a month. I will check the unit price later and let you know. As for being ripped off, its metered and you can check it yourself.

I would have to agree with marcupton here. The unit price should not be that high especially in GZ. In big cities such as BJ it's not that high. You could probably expect to pay around 200 to 400 kuai a month for electricity but that is of course how much of it you use. Remember to turn off all the electricity when you have no need for it to save you money and also protect the environment for myself and people like Marcupton.

Thde electrfical bill is not really  a month after months same price per Kw/hr used, it would depend from what it is generated.  If hidropower it would be cheaper, under 0.5 (like 0.489765 Rmb/Kw-hr), and if coal, gas or oil generated steam used to drive generators, then it would be more expensive, here is just under 0.7 Rmb/Kw-hr.

I do not live in Guangzhou, but in Guangxi Province (next door west), and my eletrical bill fluctuates from 250 to 400 Rmb per month, if I run all A/C units (two floors, 190 sq mts, 4 A/C units) 24/7 it goes to around 800 Rmb per month.

Water bill also fluctuates, some months as low as 12 Rmb, others as high as 17, yet I use always about the same amount.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information.  I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
