When I was with EF, I did a 6-month gig. Mind you, no bonus/airfare, etc. is included. |

Buckland will let you do a one term contract with the option to extend it into the regular one-year contract at the end of the term.
The thing to watch out for when doing a one term contract is that your flights to and from China will eat up a lot of what little money you make in such a short duration. |

I plan on being in the Philippines for at least another month or so. The flight from here to there and eventually (hopefully) back here again shouldn't dent the salary for a 6 month contract that much
.......should it??? |

Aston English schools do 6 and 7 month contracts all the time. Must be a huge churn rate judging by their poor reputation. |

Check out teaching in Yangshuo ... Buckland (as has been suggested) or any of the Oral English schools in that city. I worked there for 14 months and only signed one 6 month contract (by choice). |
