Do you have any information about teaching for Wall Street English or about Hong Kong Public Schools (NET). I interviewed with Disney English, but their salaries are way too low. Some tell me that the cost of living in Hong Kong is more expensive than Shanghai, while others say the cost of living (renting and apartment)is much lower than what I wouls find in Los Angeles. By the by, your article was VERY informative! Thanks, Dr. C.
