I am thinking about enrolling in one of those programs where you go to Asia to teach English. I am graduating in June and have seen different programs that include free housing, free airfare and around $2,000 a month salaries with a one year contract. Has anyone ever tought abroad in China, Japan, or Korea? I want to know which country is the best for me. I want a low living expense, but also safety is an issue. I'm not used to huge cities, but I could deal with it. Which country has the best night life? I read somewhere that Korea's bars close at midnight? If anyone can give me any real life experience advice, please let me know.
Free housig, free airfare, and around $2,000 a month salaries are found anywhere in China, Japan, or Korea. The only thing you need to have are connections. Try inquiring at your university if they have partner schools in the Asia Pacific region.
A low living expense can definitely not happen in both Japan and Korea, two of Asia's most expensive places to live.
Huge cities dot China and Japan. Korea's cities are more of the provincial type.
Nightlife in China, Korea, and Japan are all quite restricted. Real nightlife in Asia only happens in the Philippines and Thailand.
