United States: Floriday Coast or Keys: Tutoring Opportunities?:

I am a fully-qualified English teacher (British and N. Am. training). My husband and I hope to retire on a boat at the end of the year and are hoping to live for at least a year in Florida.. Would there be many or very few opportunities for me to work part-time providing tutoring? And at what rates? I want to keep working with kids, 'cause I love it! and also we both have to work part-time to pay for costs. Thank you in advance for any information you send my way!

I love working with young people and don't want to give that up. Also, I'll have to work to cover our costs of living. Thank you in advance for any information which you may provide!

Malaysia: 10 Tips for Living in Malaysia:

I am an expat living in Malaysia and I think this very upbeat article sums life up best. (Although I do think Malayisians over-rate how good their food is! Penang is definitely the best for food!) the noise factor is a problem==beware if you are hospitalized here, you will not sleep due to noise made by staff, patients and part. visiting families! However, my family has had the best care ever at Damansara -- unbelievable! The other thing foreigners need to remember is that anyone with a white face is often charged extra. This doesn't just apply to markets, but also to national attractions. For example, if you1 take the Big Bus trip or visit Aquaria, which I highly recommend, the admission will be 38 rm for you if your skin is white, but probably half or 2/3 the price if you look Malaysian. So always travel with your identity card -- it's the law -- and show them you're here working and living on a legal visa Then I get Malaysia price. I love Malaysia; yes, the driving is crazy -- but hey, nothing is as bad as Dubai or Africa -- yes, there are roosters and fireworks, but the people, beaches, etc. are fantastic. I really enjoy it and will miss it when we move to our next posting. KL is a vibrant, beautiful city with tons to do, whether you enjoy jazz, theatre, jogging, biking, charity work...there's plenty! And Malaysia costs less ... so save your money and enjoy!
