Can you please use some examples? I know you're on a hiatus until you go on vacation, but if you could please cover a few reasons WHY it was so much hell to move there, it would help. I often toyed with the idea of teaching English in another country, just for the kicks and change of pace, not really to make money.
I always wondered if it's really brutal wearing gear in taiwan's summers... the only time I ever saw anyone in Taiwan in gear was in the countryside (but on ducatis); The only time i've seen people in Japan wearing any sort of elaborate gear... is outside the city..
I agree living in a foreign country (even if it's one you're quite familiar with) can be hell.. but much of the time, things do get better... and that the challenge is worth it...
I lived in Korea for about a year and loved it! For me, the beginning was intriguing. Great food and friendly people. Didn't learn much "Hangul" though.
i'd probably get a cab if you didn't pick me up yo. if i didn't have good directions/map anyway. heck, i get confused in an unfamiliar city in the US. get on the brake too much n sh*t.
was that a scooter! how degrading to be riding a scooter!
I wish you had gone into more detail about the teaching. I taught english in Mexico to executives and it was a very interesting experience (even just talking about the business of teaching).
You just need a 4 year degree if you want to teach legally. Otherwise you can find work but it is way harder and you could possibly be deported if you get caught. Deportation is pretty rare
Mordeth, maybe because Asians are taught to be modest and are taught its rude to say 'no', they cannot be honest about their feelings. The West has taken this to the other extreme and thus some Westerners can be downright rude and condescending.
