Best way to do it is to sneak into the back of a truck. Show the truck driver the address you are due to be delivered to, and hide under an old yakskin between two large sacks.
*sorry, couldn't resist that one.
In all seriousness, I think you've got no chance. Why do you think we are all living in crappy polluted cities if we could live somewhere as beautiful as Tibet? |

hello PennyLane,
You rarely see jobs in Tibet as such but you do see occasional jobs in western Sichuan or Qinghai teaching Tibetan minorities who live there.
The pay is low: RMB3,000 - 3,500 month.
If you are interested, you could subscribe to this group since I recall a job as above was posted there recently.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TEFLChinaJob/
or see information at:
http://teflchina.org/welcome/
Look through the old messages once you have subscribed to the Job list – or post a message enquiring about such a job.
good luck.
M
BTW I appreciated your posts on the history of USA foreign policy on the main discussion board recently. |

Why do you want to teach in Chinese-occupioed lands? Politically over-sensitive and off limits to foreign experts unless they work for an accredited NGO, and those get thoroughly vetted.
One such organisation is khmaid. Do a google search!
But their jobs usually are in Sichuan and Qinghai, not in TIbet proper.
By the way, do you think you would stand the rigours of the climate and altitude of Tibet? |
