where would it be?  After two and a half teaching EFL in Thailand, I'm thinking about returning to Korea. It'd be easy, warts and all, for me to return to kimchiland, but for you---where would you go? Cheers!  |

Yeah---that's the biggest factor. It's been said many, many times before, so once again 'ere it goes- Thailand's a great place to visit but unless you've a "real" international teaching job you're just surviving. Living on a government school's salary in Bangers isn't exactly living if you get my meaning. I'm not exactly looking forward to the cold as per I'm sweating my nads off at the moment, but hey nothing is perfect. Other than that, I do miss Seoul. Ooooooooch---who would've thought I'd say that.

Really--u want to be in the river of shti as in Dantes Inferno?  For myself, a suntan gone wrong is about as close as I want to get to the pitchfork.  |
