Actually, filippofuzhou, you should consider Thailand.

There are a lot of teaching jobs available in Thailand. The term just started but there are probably still many vacancies.

The conditions aren't great, but the ladies are beautiful, the food is awesome and the islands, especially Phuket, are good for getting away.

Just be aware that a parliamentary election is coming up in about 2 weeks.

I've never worked in Laos but I have travelled there, beautiful, wonderful country, friendly & happy people. Love it!

I suggest you stay in China, just relocate. Go live in Dali, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Kashi, many cool places in China that aren't trying to be so modern.

I must disagree with your implication that Chinese are soul-less. To take a a sweeping generalization about the entire country like that is ridiculous. Thats like saying "All Italians love spaghetti".

You had a great experience or you wouldn't have stayed as long as you have. Just move to a different place with a different culture (in China), and you won't be so bored next year. Indonesia would be another suggestion.

Laos is worth a couple years of your life. ESL employment is not easy to come by. Lao-American has no problems hiring non-native speakers. As with anywhere in Asia, using personal connections can always be helpful. Your background might make you better suited for one of the countless NGOs that populate the country. You might also look at Cambodia. But I have found where ever you go you can get into a rut after a year or so-its part of the cycle of life.

Aren't ALL teenagers interested in their mobiles,computer games and shopping? I don't think Chinese students are unique in this,and in fact I find them to be more respectful and friendly than many Western teenagers I have had the misfortune to teach over my 30 years as an EFL teacher.
