Agreed. My friend taught in Vietnam, and earned enough to pay for his masters degree in no time. All the while living in a great apartment complex. You must have to really love China to want to come and poison your lungs and teach English for peanuts.

I am not too certain. But I also think the English teachers are treated with more respect in said countries and not so much a dancing clown.

Thanks for the reply Eorthisio. Im finishing up on a decent job on the outskirts of GZ. pay, boss and do-workers were great. Unfortunately, there's a massive restructuring going on at the prep-boarding school, and they wont be needing my position any longer. 18k rmb at 11 classes the first year, and 19k rmb at 8 classes this year was quite sweet. very boring here though. ill look into jobs at the countries you mentioned. Thanks again for the info and reply. Cheers.
