These are such basic things that many people would have over-looked them completely. I have to ad another reminder as well. If you take any special medications or have some special skin care or deodorant that you need or like, bring a six month's supply with you or you either won't find it in China or have to pay triple the price to get it. For example, I could not find any stick deodarant or neosporin until I went to a foreign supply store (Jenny Lu's) where I ended up paying $20 for each item.
I suggest every TEFL teacher take a visit to https://reddit.com/r/TEFLscams BEFORE they send off their resumes.
