I'm looking for:
- Low salary
- No airfare
- High setup costs
- No pirvates
- High cost of living
- Crappy school that I'll leave after three months
- Vice
I'm ready to go! |

Thailand meets four of your seven criteria . . .
And vice can be a HUGE expense. Don't underestimate it.
Pirvates, in particular - can be costly . . . |

I always think of Canada, America, and England as places where locals teach ESL. I'm a hardcore TEFLer and I want something more exotic.
Thailand sounds nice. |

Italy meets most of your criteria:

As high as you want! (See cost of living.)
Well, you don't have to do privates if you really want the challenge of living on your crappy salary.
| Quote: |
| - High cost of living |
Salary: between 800 and 1,200 euros a month. Rent: about 50% of your salary. Unless you want to share a flat with a bunch of strangers/nutters half your age.

Plenty to choose from.
Tick. And the added bonuses of all-pervasive corruption and organised crime.
For some reason, I love it here.  |
