DJanae, I do agree with Jack and Cunning Linguist. The dog you have is one living thing that is a very valuable part of your life. However, there are mountains of obstacles waiting ahead of your path if you're moving to another country to work and reside temporarily. China requires a yearly registration fee to have a pet dog and there is not enough space for you to take care of your dog. I am sure you have heard that China does not allow anyone to build a detached single house. Ninety nine percent of the population lives in apartment buildings. The dogs that Chinese owns are just to show-off their wealth and status to the public. In Thailand, there are hundreds of stray dogs that people there couldn't care much as to that to do with them. It seems that as long as the King is alive, they will respect the dogs and not be eaten as food. The King is an animal lover such as the canine or dogs.

Teaching in Thailand is indeed great not that the students are a joy to teach but the education system is too poor that teachers (FT) just do what they want and gets the salary at the end of the month. Thai students are not expected to pass in English Language studies as the system is concentrated on making money for nothing from the students. In general, public schools in Thailand are one too many that they only prepare something good during an annual school review by the government.

In China, students are well motivated to study as their population is too huge that competition is fierce not to mention that pressure exerted on the students at home to excel in their studies.

Just be prepared to sing and dance if you're planning to teach small kids. if you plan to teach teenagers, be prepared with a lot of educational and fun games. That goes to both countries.
