Doing your reserch on teaching english

Something I can always recommend is doing your research.
And if you are going to go thousands of miles from home for a year or more you should more then likely research everything about the place that you are going. There are a ton of resources on the internet about teaching pretty much anywhere that you can think of going.

A few good places are web sights that are for companies, even if you don't go though those companies you can get a good ideal as to what the job is going to be like there.
