teaching opportunities

9 years ago

I am currently living and teaching in Sichuan province of China. I have been here about six years. My current place of employment is slowly going under, mainly due to poor management. I could easily relocate, but I would really prefer to leave China.

Considering I have not been paid in full for the last five months, money will be tight. The bus from Yunnan is affordable, so I am considering just going for it. How feasible is it to show up, at this time of year, in Luang Prabang or Vientiane and secure enough work to live off ?

I having been living in the Chinese country side for years, so I am happy to live simple and cheap. I have a BFA in Sociology, and about seven combined years of teaching experience. Also, I am an American citizen.

Can I do it? And if I did do it, any advice? Or any places with good information? I can't use google here, and the usable search engine results are not very helpful.

Thanks for any and all input.
