@ NP, Forget Taiwan unless you are a north american speaker. Even then, you will be working for a taiwanese boss. Ever seen how the taiwanese treat the mainland chinese who work for them? And you thought dealing with a bitchy boss in China was bad:)

As for the emirates and Saudi, outside of Dubai, and perhaps even in Dubai, it's so conservative and traditional unless you got a wife with you (co-habitation is a big no-no in those parts, can't even be considered), it won't be much fun for a single bloke. The good thing is you'll save money and have jacking off down to a fine art, the bad you will develop callouses and probably long for a wink off some older filipino cash teller now and again:(

Better money, but less fun. again depends on whether or not you chase the $ or whether you like a life....

Cheers and cold red rock beers,
