I'm pretty sure the expat "enclaves" are much worse in Japan than they are in Guangzhou, so if it came down to it, I'd avoid Japan most of all. This may be a horrible generalization, but I have never gotten a chance to speak Japanese with a Japanese person aside from in college (they prefer English), while most Taiwanese and Chinese will constantly go back and forth between English/Mandarin with me. I think there are fairly active Korea and Taiwan threads over in A/T, though.
Become an English teacher in east asia! You have a degree; you're set. Lack of language experience is preferred. They'll treat you good, board you near other expats, and you don't have to be in it for the long-run.
I am trying to avoid teaching english, but if it's the only way I can get out of here, I am happy to do it. I need to find a place off the beaten path though. I would rather not be surrounded by expats. I am not above bathing in a river and sleeping on the ground...I have done if for months in the past. My only real concern is paying my goddamn student loans and taking my dog with if at all possible, so salary doesn't have to be big.

Fellow bitcoiners;
I don't often seek advice from the intertubes, but I figure with such an eclectic mix of people here, it's worth a shot.
I have been running a successful aquarium service that I started when I graduated from college with a degree in marine biology for a number of years, but with the shitty economy, things have gotten progressively harder to eke out a living, and I am wholly burnt on running a small business.
To top that off, I have now been crashed into four times in the last 18 months, the first being a drunk driver that fucked up my back and left me with no feeling in my right hand, and the last two being this past week. I do not want to be in Los Angeles for a minute longer.
I guess I am sort of hitting mid-life crisis at 27... I want to get the hell out of the US for a bit (or forever). I lived in Panama for a year and a half, learned a ton of spanish and loved it, but bumming around hostels and drinking like a fish is not what I am going for this time around.
Anyone have any tips on finding a job -preferably in biology or marine biology- overseas or in central or south america? I'd even freeze my ass off in canada...I just need to change it up. Thanks in advance.
