				| 
 |  
				| I'm currently teaching here in Korea but when I leave here in Sept 2005,  I want to continue travelling east asia and south america. 
 It would ideal to continue to work/teach at the same time to keep the cost down...so I am wondering if it is possible to get any short term contracts.
 
 I hope to visit India, thailand, malaysia, maybe china, and Peru
 
 All advice  gratefully received

In this city most schools don't help pay for work visas, and most reputable schools don't hire foreigners to work illegally.

				| The shortest term you'll find acceptable in Latin America is perhaps 4 months, though 6 is more reasonable. |  |
