Hey Taiwan goons. Savage mainlander checking in here. As soon as my contact is up in Beijing, I might defect to Taiwan as it seems like a better place to live. I'm a teacher, FYI.

Any thoughts on which international schools in Taiwan with I.B or AP courses have the best packages/lifestyle?

I was a tour guide for two years and I studied linguistics in college, so yeah I'm not too worried about the teaching experience. Classroom control is really the area I'm most worried about, because while I like kids I don't have any actual experience working with them or even dealing with them aside from seeing my 2-year-old nephew every couple of weeks.

I'm still nervous. I guess I've always heard the talking point that the interview is basically just checking if you have a clear American accent, and I was wondering if that's actually true.

The First Days of School by Harry Wong is a really good book for basic teacher stuff. You might even be able to download the PDF.

Does anyone know what the international schools pay in Taiwan? I am leaning towards Taiwan or Hk once my contract is up but I'm wondering if its worth it. Anyone have any first hand experience, or are most of you at language centres/public school?

And when girls wear them-- no matter how hot they are-- it makes them seem stupid and vapid to me.
对不对?
