| I don't hear much from the Tierra del Fuego region. Any call for teachers down there? |

Not unless you plan to teach penguins... 20 years ago, when I actually tried to round the cape, there was no-one there save for some Chilean coast guard types to prevent fools like me from trying to round the cape without the required permits.

Aw, come on - there has to be a community of gauchos or someone down there who wants to learn a spot of English.
I'm still going with the principle I outlined at the beginning of this thread - that a fella might easily grab a job in a place other teachers don't want to go. That's how I scored my current gig. Speaking of that, what's up with the natives in northeastern Siberia? They must surely want English, too. |

Still not much down that way from the look of things.

Is it considered poor form to bump one's own thread?
I'm still leaning toward Cambodia and Laos. Money isn't the biggest motivator for me. A relaxed environment tops my list. |
So where did you end up Steinmann? Also what unique places have you taught before? |

| Well, so far I know that in the future I want to avoid certain parts of China and find a place that is warm year round (or at least has mild winters!) |

I'm not sure that Taiwan is desirable anymore (it used to be). I notice that the salaries currently being offered are actually lower than what I earned back there in 2000! This also seems to suggest a lack of local opportunities for progression, so I'd avoid.
Korea? I can't discuss it on this forum, but there was no way I could see myself re-signing. |

China, Haiti, and most African nations is where I would not want to work. Why?
China - Too many cheaters (www.ChinaScamBusters.com)
Haiti - Too much filth and disease
Africa - Other than Kenya and South Africa living conditions are horrible |
