I am definitely taking the job. Would be interested in any hints for "new chums" anyone can offer... like what are essential things not to forget; what are essential things to chase up when we get there etc etc. I have worked in cross cultural situations before, so have an idea of the type of culture shock to expect and how to deal with it..

I figure on taking a few essential teaching resources, but otherwise leaving everything at "home" and starting afresh with a clean slate. I will do my best to do what ever job I have to the best of my ability and to provide maximum benefit to my clients, whoever they may be. However, my over-arching philosophy is "What can I learn from this?" That way, I figure, that way I can't lose...
