WATERSPORTS INSTRUCTOR - BEIJING, CHINA

Here is an opportunity of a lifetime for enthusiastic and motivated watersports instructors to join China's premier Sailing Centre.  You will enjoy travel to the Far East, learn Chinese and experience working in a country where watersports is in its infancy as part of a team working to increase participation in a range of watersports within northern China.  Other opportunities include sailing where the great wall meets the sea and meet a world of interesting people.

China has for 5000 years been cut off from the West and consequently you will find that everything is different here even the simplest things like the way to open a banana (they consider the stalk to be a handle and open from the other end).  If you want to come here then come with an open mind, explore and discover these intrinsic cultural differences.  It will be completely different to anything you may expect and is full of interesting experiences.
