There number of Americans and Canadians over there teaching ESL was astounding. I spent a lot of time in internet cafes posting photos and keeping in touch with family, and every time I'd go into one there would be at least 3-4 westerner ESL instructors doing the same thing! There's lots of blogs being written by westerners teaching English in China (most of whom seem to be stationed in Shanghai for some reason), so you could do a blog search for some of those and follow along/comment and see how these people got hooked up with their jobs, then follow suit. <BR/><BR/>We loved China and are looking forward to going back next year to adopt our second.
