I hope I didn't miss anything...

I reckon I'll be in Asia for the next 10 years of so, korea, japan, china, thailand, malaysia... all hold a lot of interest for me. In 10 years time I hope to speak korean and Japanese pretty fluently and be at least intermediate in chinese. Just have to subsidise all that learning, but hopefully not through teaching english.

I want to go to a different country to teach but I'll do another one here first it seems. It doesn't necessarily need to be in Asia for me.

My dream is that when I get enough songs together for a live set, I'd like to develop a little circuit around this area, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Phillipenes, Malaysia, Indonesia ... tour for two months a year, teach English in Korea for 10 ...

#1-Get a job with a wee bit more vacation than 6 days a year (pretty much only negative with current job)
#2-Get my own place that isn't supplied by my job
#3-Write and travel during vacations

Failing that, I intend to go back to grad school when my loans/savings are in a secure place.

Stay a few more years. Finish Masters. Do some more traveling. Move to Europe.

Yeah.

Deciding whether to teach in southern Asia for a few months or go back, teach, and get a Master's for a couple years.

I'm pretty much done with Korea unless I marry a girl from here.

Looks like nobody is thinking of teaching English forever, that's no big suprise.

My goal is to get a big enough place for three cats to live in. As for work I'm not too sure - translating is surprisingly boring so I think I'd like to just write more articles as I could do that forever. Certainly much more fun than turning instruction manuals into English.
In the long term I would like to make a contribution to N-S Korean peace, help start a real space agency here and also see if the Uigur people in northwestern China are distantly related to Koreans at all. Though I suspect somebody has already researched that.
So I checked celebrity because I would like to be in the newspaper a few times a week all the time.

I want to make as much money as I possibly can, by whatever means are at my disposal.

Being a realist, I would like to move out of teaching in the next few years, yet stay in Korea. Have been teaching in Korea for a long time and I don't think I can do it very much longer. I give myself 3 years maxium as working as a teacher, (but that is what I say..... Confused

).
