I highly recommend you go. Like I said one of the best experiences of my life. I would love to go back. No idea what your financial situation will be but we lived a fairly middle class life. Imo that's the best way to really experience another culture. Take the bus, eat street food, go to the same market the locals do. I did a fair amount of traveling too, there is so much to see but I would absolutely recommend Hainan island, skip the fancy hotels and see if can spend time in the fishing villages.
Thanks for the nudge. I submitted my application today based on the feedback in this thread. Financial situation would be pretty generous it looks like! Somewhere above 20k rmb/month, including a housing stipend. I've been told that's plenty.
