Stu, I've taught in two countries only--Thailand and South Korea. I was in SK for only one week, so I can't really speak that much about that place. But if you want an opinion on Thailand, I can give you one that's not smoke and mirrors. If you want to learn something about China, I suggest you ask Raoul, another poster here. He's another guy who isn't in the pockets of TESOL interests, so you can get a straight, honest answer from him about China.

I'd like to go to Japan, but prices are high there from what I've heard. I'll have to actually go there and find out for sure. I'd love to get a job in a place like Italy, but it seems one needs an EU passport if he wants to teach in Europe. So. It's keep on teaching in Asia or fly home. I MAY be interested in teaching in South America someday. However, if I go back to the US, I'll see about getting a teaching job there.
