Q: Would you say you had ample room space at your office to feel comfortable?

I've seen some tiny offices in my days. So would you say your office is tiny or do you have enough room to feel comfortable?

Actually,  yes.

My school has an office for 5 foreign teachers. However, I am the only one so it is actually quite big. And lonely. Abandoned. Solitary. And now you all know why I spend so much time on this forum.  Unseen.  Unloved. Unheard. All alone without a friend in the world....cool

Yes, My office is some 10 sqr/mtr and only has my desk and chair and no assholes to share it with.

I must say I have seen some shitty offices around Asia. All offices in China are the same, if it is an IT company, a hospital, a bank or a school. It's always the same cramped little desks, a computer running windows xp, poor lighting, and then lots of mess stacked up in all the corners. Singapore and Korea seems to have understood that people who sit in a nice environment will be more productive, just like home.

Actually the nicest office I've seen in Asia was a shed outside Kualu Lumpur. Very modest building ("pretty crap" might be more accurate) nothing much around but nature. Incredibly quiet, and a decent internet connection.

Bollocks.  My work computer is totally running Windows 7

Scandinavian:

That is the most amazing thing I have heard today. I have also seen other computers running Win7 in offices, but XP is still the King of OS'es in China. 

 

Recently a new Bank of China branch opened just down the road. Shiny new floors, walls etc. Even the obligatory guard looks pretty new. Yet all computers (visible) are running WinXP.

the same old cubicle, neither big nor small.

Do the teachers here have staff rooms as it was used to be in my school??

GuilinRaf:

Not exactly a staff room, but the foreign teachers office has a nice sofa....

No ample space in my office. Four desks, four teachers, one computer on a separate desk. We all have hard wooden chairs to support our backs (I suppose). All the masters have comfortable reclining chairs with high backs and fast computers with LCD monitors. Oh the computer we share uses a CRT and probably still runs a P120 or similar; sometimes we wait and wait for a webpage to load. Good time to go pay for a cup of coffee and come back.

It's like living in the 90s without the fast Ford Mustang 5.0s.
