> thanks, but no thanks. japan is better, pay and "fun"

China is fun,too, Zac, and the pay is the best I have ever received(taking into consideration the differences in the cost of living) of the four countries I have taught in.

Of course, pay isn't everything- I just turned down a job in South Korea that would have been the best-paying job I would ever have had. I did this because my wife had a job elsewhere in Korea and I didn't want to be separated.

Love is first. Fun is second(though the first includes a lot of the second). Pay is a distant third.

Enjoy Japan, Zac.
