thanks for the interesting reply. So you decided that being paid to teach English wasn't worth it - and set up your own school! I admire you for doing that - but are you earning your $35+ per hour? And if so would you like me to come and work ... Read More

To answer your question: There is always work to be had in DaNang - always people advertising. BUT, not much advertising and a lot of people chasing the work, hence supply&demand - plentiful supply = lowish pay. I enquired of the international ... Read More

what? no replies within the past 10 days! We managed to keep the dating debate going forever - well until it was stopped. But DaNang social gatherings seems to have died a death - or are you all arranging meet ups through PMs? I return to Danang ... Read More

Can anybody tell me what is the normal hourly rate for an experienced TEFL teacher in Hanoi ?
I just chucked working for $12 for 5-10 hours per week - it just wasn't worth the aggro. I do have a small UK pension which will keep me alive until I find better job. I shall be leaving Vietnam within 3 weeks as my visa expires. Question is - ... Read More

Ok so no hope of meeting new ExPats in Hue as presumably there aren't any. Anyone know of an ExPats hangout that is not a tourist hangout? Or is Hue just dead on its feet - or perhaps the local ExPats don't want us newbies on their turf? ... Read More
