Trading skills is an online headache

There might be little luck for most low-income workers chasing cheap flats to rent, but that doesn't put off netizen Susie Gao - in return for a home, she is offering knowledge.

Gao posted a message on Chinese classified website ganji.com on Sept 27, stating that she wants a room and is willing to teach the subjects of Chinese and geography in return.

She didn't mention her occupation or age, but did suggest an ideal exchange partner - male, aged 25 to 30. The advert also included her cell phone number and instant messaging QQ number.
