" I have applied for a position in Tianjin and would be grateful for any info from anyone living there regarding :- 1. Health - hospitals, standards etc. 2. Education - English curriculum schools (alternatives) 3. Housing - what sort of accommodation is available. I am told that Tianjin is a fast developing city. I have also been told that it is primitive by western standards. Grateful for any information from past or present residents of Tianjin. "

" Dear Ian I have a small but growing ex-pat team working in Tianjin. We are an Australian Educational Consortium delivering vocational education cooperatively with Tianjin Universities. My team are from Australia, Canada,NZ and the USA. They all live in Tianjin full time. I am the CEO of the company and live in Tianjin part time and Melbourne, Australia part time. I have been going to Tianjin now for two years. I love the city. It is developing very fast and has excellent import export opportunities since it is so close to the free trade zone and harbour. It has a very good ( international quality) teaching hospital, many shops with those things from home you can''t do without and a number of Chambers for ex-pats working there who have lots of info to help you settle in. I help coordinate Austcham (Aust China Chamber of Commerce). I know others from the American, Canadian and British Chambers etc. We are running a large Expat event at the Tainjin Sheraton Hotel - an Aussie beer and bar-b-q night on the third of August 2001. Please feel free to join us that night. Also the Sheraton has an ex-pat newsletter Tianjin Telegraph which is full of info on the city. The TDN Head Office phone number in Tianjin is +86 22 230 11571. Give myself or my staff a call there someday to say hi when you come to Tianjin. Best regards and good luck in China Carol CEO, TDN "
