So I'm at point in my life now where I just feel like I need change. I've from Canada but I'm currently living in the US.
I recently just broke up with my girlfriend of 3 and a half years and I feel like I'm ready to move on with my life.

Anyways long story short. I'm thinking about teaching English Abroad.

This wasn't just over night, I've been thinking about it for a while now.

My three choices would either be Japan, Korea, or Taiwan, but I'm leaning more towards Taiwan.

Anyone ever taught abroad in these countries or anywhere? Could you give me some experiences.

Thanks in advance =)

I've taught in korea before, but I live there during the summer so it wasn't big of a deal.
I worked at Kaist last year though for a month teaching English. It's like 5 minutes away from my house + I speak korean + I know korean culture so my experience probably won't help you much.

I know some places in seoul pay you alot but they do tend to pay white people more =_= sigh.

I want to teach in Japan though, did anybody try that before??
URGH don't ever call me honey, love, sweetie, cutie pie, baby, babe, etc. You don't know me and how old I am.
