[quote]schools in China, Singapore, Indonesia and eastern Europe will wonder, what shortage?[/quote]

I can tell you that there is also a shortage in Singapore and Indonesia. Some schools don't have to worry about this because there will always be people wanting to work there (read JIS et al), however many middle tier international schools are feeling the pinch. Singapore especially is not as attractive as it once was because of the rising costs, mainly rent which has blown way out.

Don't you know the Pike is an expert of every country. At least it seems so with all the posts he/she has been making....Most of them without any first hand knowledge

Their package looks good to me...Better than where I am at the moment. I suppose if you are comparing it to JIS than you'll be dissapointed.

I have heard a lot of teachers want to get a job at Manila International school, maybe you have just been spoiled.
