I am in small-town Oaxaca, the job conditions are a breeze but sadly the students are not very motivated. They have an extremely heavy workload and if they fail one subject they have to wait a year then repeat the whole semester. All subjects except English, if they fail that they pay a small fine and it's business as usual. So, as you can imagine, when the workload starts getting heavy English falls by the wayside.

The students are very respectful and nice, just they don't do their English. I have a workmate here who was in Guadalajara, he liked the city but not his salary. But another guy that was in Guadalajara worked here for a semester or two, then went back.

I haven't chosen a school yet, luckily I will have enough money in my annual savings plan to buy a ticket there. I have applied to a couple of places, if either of them come through in the next month I'll accept, otherwise I will be doing some door-knocking once I get there. A few people I met on other forums have told me there is plenty of work to be found, especially when you are there in the flesh to make a good impression.

I think I'll head for Ulsan, a prosperous industrial city less than an hour from Busan, for when I want really big city stuff. I'm not sure where I got this idea from, but it "feels right" so I'm going with it.

Well, I hope I'm not boring you all with this,

Have a great day everyone
