hey at least Oxford, Stamford, Harvard and Yale etc have a reputation that transend their native soil. U of Athabasca??? Never heard of it, and its not because im ignorant, as i have been researching overseas universities for a PhD programme for 3 years, but because it lacks a reputation. |

Athabasca is Canada's leading provider of online degrees. Can oxford say the same? Does oxford even offer online degrees? I don't think so. Athabasca 1, Oxford 0.
If your still looking for a PHd school though you really should think about Stamford. Heres the website:

Great school, and Thailand is truly the Land of Smiles. |

I've heard that China and Thailand have many WEIRD ESL teachers  |
Koreans always seemed pretty wierd to me when I was in london. They used to sit in the street, squatting. I thought they were protesters at first.
Maybe other cultures are just different, I dunno. |

1. You work more in China than in Korea.
2. You can live like a king on 500 or 600 a month in most places in China.
3. When teaching kids you have an assistant with you in the class room
helping you.
4. Your assistant will get all the material ready for you. So all you have to do is go to class and teach.
5. If you work for a university you get 3 months paid vacation.
6. It is each to get extra work in China. Like teaching or your own
business.
7. I have never been paid late in China.
8. Ten dollars can get you a three hour massage or a three hour special
massage.
10. When you get a hair cut in most places you also get a massage.
11. The people in China or a lot more friendlier than they are in Korea.
12. It is not common when you have a party in China. It is about 75
percent foreigner and 25 chinese at the party.
13. It does not matter if you are old, fat, and ugly, you still can have a
beautiful girlfriend.
14. Lot's lot's and lot,s or free food and beer.
15. You can go to a bar and never have to buy any beer.
16. When you go out to eat you get more food and at a cheaper price. |
Sounds like Paradise!!!! I am sure this is not true everywhere in China. I am mostly curious about Shanghai |
