| I worked for them during the New Year break and had a good time. A bit disorganized at times but we all got paid and fed and sheltered so I have no complaints. They've been doing this gig for many years and have it down pretty well. |

| Just be aware that they are only paying you $1000. They word it to seem that you will be paid for your flight plus $1000 US. |

| Yeah, that's true. The pay is nothing great so it works best if you are already in TW. It can also be a good way to try out the country and see what it's like to work with kids. I came from the States to do the job so it didn't make sense from a straight economic standpoint. However, I found that I liked working in TW but would rather work with adults vs. young people. That alone was worth the cost of an air ticket. |

| I am not talking about the cost. My point is that some people have came to the camp expecting that they would get $1000US plus another $1300 for their plane ticket. |

Its a lot of work for the money. The kids are run in to the ground as well.
I worked other camps in Taiwan for twice the pay and half the work.
The owner has got to be rich by now, you would think he would finally pay decent money. |
