That's actually a really good payscale for a teacher here! may i ask which school u will be working for and which grade?

It is to your benefit that you are being employed from abroad, you get all the extras which makes up your salary.
I am employed as local hire in the sense that I am sponsored by my father. So I don't get the housing allowance, flights and med etc... i just get a flat salary which really isn't that great :(

The gratuity is something that you will get on the basis that you work the duration of your contract and that you hand in your notice within the specified time. It's usually a week or in some cases a month's salary for every year you work there.

Carefree... which grade will you be working with? obviously it varies by far deopending on this.

Good luck :)
Tomorrow is another day ;)
