Teaching overseas, what an opportunity! My first year out of school and I have full time position in China and couldn't be more excited.

traveling while I am there

So, one of the perks about traveling to Asia to teach, is the easy access to travel the area. I want to go everywhere. So where should I go? I am going to go to Japan in October, but during my 6 weeks off, I have never ending opportunity to travel this area. Anyone want to visit? Go to Thailand? Indonesia? Come on, you know you wanna!

Moving to China

Well everyone I am just finishing up my teaching degree and looking for jobs. It was a toss up between moving to China and teaching at a BC international school there in Northern China or moving to London and teaching math and science at a high school there.
Well I am happy to say I got a job position with MapleLeaf Education and will be teaching at a school in North East China. I am moving to Shanyang and teaching at a brand new school with only greade 10's attending this year. This is the web page for the schools in China. http://www.mapleleaf.net.cn/english/index.htm
here is another link to learn more about the school.http://www.mapleleafschools.com/
I leave for China at the end of August. This is going to be an incrediable experience and I am so glad that many of my friends that I have made in Kelwona are doing this same thing for next year. Another great thing about this is that while I am teaching in a new place I have the opportunity to travel Asia.
