Hello everybody.... I am an American looking to work in the Sakhalin area of Eastern Russia...

Can anyone with information about this area PLEASE reply or contact me directly at [email protected]

If there are any teachers out there working in this area I would also like to talk with you personally if possible...

I have about a year experience in ESL and am going to be getting my CELTA certificate next month...

ANY information would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Andrew

Good luck, Andrew ... and keep us posted on your adventures.

Oh yeah, and don't forget to pack a hard hat.

They have fairly frequent earthquakes in that neck of the woods.
