If Japan, Thailand, China, Taiwan, etc. offered the same package as Korea, would you go/would you have gone?

Of friggen course...

A lot of the whiteys on here will try to blow smoke up your anus telling you how they are here for the culture/food etc.etc. but if they could get the same deal somewhere else....they'd be outta here in a second.

Oh yeah, get me on the next plane outta here.

Another little thing at my elementary school turned into a huge filibuster today and I am officially SICK of it. It's a shame but I just don't care anymore about my school, co-workers and kids. Thank the lord I am done in 6 weeks. Oh, and thank God it's Friday.

OP, I think you already knew the answer before asking the question especially since you've put Thailand in the choices.

Japan and Taiwan I can understand because they already offer similar deals.

With the same money, teaching resources, government school, school support, and for the most part the nicest teenage student the country has to offer, I'd be off to Thailand, Laos, or just about any (mainland) European country after this countract was up.

Sounds strange but if I could live anywhere at my current salary/hours....I wouldn't mind being back in Vancouver, Canada. I use to work a lot harder for a lot less in Canada, going back on the contract I have now might be kinda fun. Wink

I know for a fact my buddies in Canada would be jealous as hell and I would probably be the envy of all of them. Very Happy

Now if I was going to live overseas my choices would be.....

1.) Florionopolis Brazil (google it Wink

)
2.) La Paz Mexico on the Baja peninsula.
3.) Any place cool in Thailand.

Same money and I'd be out of here in a second despite liking Korea. I don't like staying in the same country for more than three years but I need the money, so here I am stuck...

Thailand in a heartbeat. Japan would be second.

Thailand. Ohhhhhh Thailand. Who would be left in cold Confucian Korea if Thailand could pay it's teachers any sort of decent wage.

I live in hope.

If I could make my basic (before overtime) wage in Indonesia I would have left yesterday.

I wouldn't be posting here because I'd be on the Thailand board.
Cool
