At first, I only considered teaching in Japan. However, with this forum I have been thinking, would there be a better location? Please let me know of your recommendations!

Japan definitely, that's why I'm here. And it's not as expensive as people think. A meal in my local area sets me back about 500 yen and includes a drink bar!

People are friend, good hygiene, great entertainment options, reliable public transport and an interesting culture.

Without having any experience in teaching at other locations, I can't really make an educated, or objective comment on this, but for sheer scale of versatility and interest, China has to be where it's at! Yep, there are bad points to the place too... crowds, pollution, manners that we'd consider rude etc, but hell, it's their country! Whether you're in the far Northeast near Mongolia or down in the South near Hong Kong, the place is a cornucopia of variety and pretty much all tastes can be, and are, catered for here...within the law of course!

Not sure if I should include Taiwan as part of China, but since I'm on the mainland and this may be censored, I should, so this also includes Taipei (

) and Kaohsiung (

)

China's the place folks, even for a visit. Once you're here, you'll see what I mean, forget the bad stuff and remember the good stuff that can be seen and done, and eaten here!
