- URGENT: English teacher needed for 2 weekend classes
  Classifieds > Jobs > Jobs Offered
  English teacher required for two classes in the weekend. The first class is from 1:30-3:15 (15 min break included) on Saturday, 7 students, 4-5 years old. The second class in on Sunday mornings from 10-10:45am, 8-9 students, 3-4 years old.
  We are a new school located on Jinxiu road(near the McDonalds and Zhongbei complex. We cater to young children and have a nice working environment. We are professional and have high expectations on all our staff to have the same attitude, but we work in a relaxed way and we understand that being professional means having staff that work together effetively, communicate well and plan ahead. We pay on time and you won't encounter some of the more common problems other training schools in China often have.
  The salary would be 120+ depending on experience. We are looking for good teachers(we realise a degree is no guarantee of this) but being a native speaker is a must. We would like to have the same teacher for as long as we can so we would want teachers that are going to stay in Chengdu for at least another year. We are confident teachers would enjoy working here and if a teacher is good enough we would do everything we can to keep them with us.

- Chengdu > The Sultan Turkish & Middle Eastern Restaurant (Halal)
  苏坦土耳其餐吧
  I'm not sure what some of the people are complaining about on here. I've been there dozens of times and never seen any cockroaches, never had problems with the service or food, or the price.
  The average meal is about 40-50 per head. Compared to smaller places that average 10-20 obviously it's more, but it's not what I would class as "expensive" by Chengdu standards.
  The selection of meals is pretty good, based on a Middle Eastern flavour. It's not as Chinafied as a lot of other "foreign" restaurants are(I've yet to find an even passably authentic Thai restaurant!). The hummus is good, and the pitas and naan too. I highly recommend the lahmacun, adana kebab and moussakka.
  This is the only place I've found in Chengdu with decent quality hookahs. Everywhere else has the cheap ones with two hoses and they also don't know how to prepare one well. I recommend asking the staff to put ice in the hookah bowl, makes for a much smoother smoke..
  This is my favourite restaurant in Chengdu. The food is great, the service has always been good whenever I've gone there, and the price is quite reasonable in my opinion.

- Chengdu > Tianyuan Vegetarian
  田园素食
  Having read some of the reviews posted previously I decided to give this a try. It's expensive but worth a go if you want veggie food on the fancier end of the scale. There are some dishes to be had for around 40, but most are more pricy. I'd expect to pay around 50+ per head on average if you want to try a variety of dishes. There fresh orange juice was the best I've had in Chengdu so far..
  Service: great, friendly and polite without being annoying.
  Selection: good but not outstanding or original
  Taste: Pretty good, although the dishes I tried were a little oily. The green Chow Miein noodles were excellent, a nice find.
  Decor: bland but nothing offensively bad
  Location: pretty easy to find if you check first on Google Maps. It's on top of another restaurant in a little cluster.
