I know that from what i've been told that EF might not be the best place for me to start off , as i dont have prev experince , and Only a Tefl certificate thru I-To-I .. What should i bring with me from the states, anyone need me to bring them something they cant get in Indonesia, but want me to bring with me, what about computers should i bring my laptop or leave at home. Should i Bring my own Toilet paper or maybe some moist wipes, wouldn't want a staff meeting on it , what about shots, any requirements . PLease Assist me if you can . or PM Private Message me if you like ...

 St Petersburg, Fl I could bring some beach sand

 Forget toilet paper, bring loads of American sized and strength condoms. I'm serious.
 
 Go directly to Jalan Jaksa and stay there. Meet English teachers and spread the word you're looking for work. (And treat us to some beer if you like...
  ) 
 I did the above 10 years ago and was working within a week. Networking is still the way to get work.

				| Goodness me! Christopher needs to learn grammar and how to write a proper sentence
 before teaching anyone English!

				| Anyone can make a typo or a spelling mistake, and many users here write postings in between doing various other tasks on the computer - but I have to agree that the OP is not exactly selling himself as a new teacher of English. |  |

 ..... i got this strange feeling that you might not have many other options
 
 
 and for no other reason than curiosity, why did you choose to "bold" tefl certificate?

				| I have to agree with the writer who commented on grammar and spelling. 
 It's all very well hitting the wrong key at times, but not whole words!!
 
 If you're going to teach English, remember that some of the older students will pick you up on wrong words and such things.

				| [color=darkred]Pardon Me!!!! I didn't Know I was taking a Cambridge Exam , if grammer is what you look for in a post than perhaps that's all you read. So I suppose no one read the post , but rather shot it down. As being such, I shall remove myself from posting further.
