Japan or Taiwan



Well, I have been talking to my brother about it some more today.  About my plans, my trip overseas and how I am going to support myself once I was there.  He worries like a good little brother should.  Now I know that I should have a plan for my trip and I do, but it is a very loose one.  The thing is my mother said to me long before she died that I am a coaster.

Let me explain.  My mother said that when I was very young, she took me to a fortune teller to ask what my future entailed.  What the fortune teller said about me is that I will be alright.  She also mentioned that I shouldnt get married until after my thirties (I am older now and still waiting!).  For the longest time, I was hopped up on maintaining a schedule of things but lately, (especially after my stroke), I have been ''meh" about such things.  I am learning to trust my inner vagabond.

My brother said that I should start in Taiwan.  I have family there (that I havent seen in years) and I should get some experience there learning how to teach to English for three to six months.  Now I have put up resumes on +GaijinPot and the such, but I havent heard back yet.  As it stands, my niece is going to write my relatives and ask them if they have any openings.  As the time clicks closer, I am looking at it more and more.  I could teach in an international school and transfer over to on in Japan.

Sigh.  What to do?
