Hey Everyone!

I have just taken a high interest in teaching abroad and have limited my overall reearch to Asia in general. As of right now, I have done extensive research on some of the programs in Taiwan, Japan, China, Korea, and Singapore, but still haven't really gotten the perspective I want of each country.

Just a little background info- I have a bachelor's in English from a small liberal arts college, I am certified to teach Secondary English and might possibly get endorsed to teach special ed. as well. I am looking to possible teach abroad a year from now, so why wait to get the right info!!!

I am hoping to find a destination that really suits my interests- I take a strong interest in the art and music of another culture and I would like to immerse myself in that wherever I go. With that being said, I also want to live in a place that is "Asian" in lifestyle, but not without the Western impact- I want to be able to learn how to live the Asian lifestyle, but still go to a bar within a mile or so of my home to have a beer with some friends. Additionally, as shallow as it sounds, I would like to have a general idea of which country has the best looking and more relatable women- I'll be 25 and I'm single so it only makes sense, so nightlife is a

Also, with the education I have and certifications I possess, which country would I be able to earn the most in and at what level- elem, middle, secondary, possible university? I am most concerned with culture and where I would best fit in at this point, but it never hurts to look at money and how that all works out too.

I appreciate all your help and look forward to hearing from all of you!!!
