Best countries to live in

My daughter started teaching abroad about 17 years ago. She began in Sardinia, which she loved, then onto South Korea, which she liked but wasn't mad about, next to Thailand, which she adored and stayed there for 6 years, then to Dubai where she remained for 5 years and now Kuala Lumpur and she has three years there so far. She is head of an English Department for an international school. We have visited everywhere she has been, we love KL She plans to go to Singapore next.

Would you get more pay in the higher education sector in the UK? Senior Lecturer/ Head of School?

Not sure Razzy. It was a possibility about 10 years ago and I decided to stay in the classroom. It's still what I love best but impossible in the UK now if you're expensive/experienced.

Gaga; Thinking outside the square and putting aside your love of money for a moment, have you considered entering politics? By your own admission, Bossy and clever with it!
You appear to me to be another Maggie and you'd have no trouble putting those pesky MPs to the sword. and helping rescue the Brits from the mess they've created!
They'd welcome you with open arms. The pay is probably not much to write home about , but think of the accolades.!
OoRoo

I am with Optimist definitely the Netherlands. I lived there for 18 years and the life style is second to none. You would probably have to get a job in an International School eg Bergen or the British School in the Hague but I can thoroughly recommend the country.

My niece has just moved from Dubai to Japan.
Finds teaching is more challenging in Japan, not a problem for her, and the life is more enjoyable.
Would your DGS go to the school you are teaching in?
Hope you enjoy it when you have made up your mind.

Wash your mouth out Rufus2! Comparing me to the decimator of the lives of millions of NE British children! I once taught in the UK's largest ex mining village. Generation after generation of children with no prospects.

Wash your mouth out Rufus2!
Gaga; At this very minute I'm washing it with a drop of quality Shiraz but I won't be spitting it out! Will that suffice?
Sorry about the Maggie ref. I had no idea of what you allege; shows how out-of-touch I've been. Would you prefer me to substitute Theresa in my tongue-in-cheek remark or perhaps forget the whole thing? After all , Ive only got 2 female PMs to work with! I wonder why?

TM is no better.

I'd aspire to be a Jezza-alike but he is a far better person than I'll ever be.

You enjoy your Shiraz. I'm damp with toddler spit.

Gagajo, have you thought closer to home like Luxembourg.
The salaries a quite high here. However accomadation is very expensive.

Gfplux, I'm off to Switzerland for 6 months and then China for the foreseeable. The pollution in China puts me off a bit but I have very good friends there so...

and then China for the foreseeabl
What's wrong with Hadrian's wall? It was built for a similar purpose as the Great Wall, i.e. to keep out marauding tribes from the North, but much closer to home and easier to walk. I"d imagine.
Anyway, Good Luck
