Great field to get into.
My cousin teaches English in Taiwan and he makes bank.
But from what I hear, from my family members in China, Standard Edited American English is less preferred than British English. But I think that that's only the case in Mainland China.

While i was there, a local gang was going around into public bathrooms, injecting anesthetics into peoples ankles from under the stall walls, and then totally stripping them of all their organs.

He went over there pretty much on a whim... he was dating a girl from China here in America, and her Visa ran out so she had to go back to China, and he went with her.
Can't say exactly how he got the teaching gig.

Haha that's funny. I've probably seen him on TV then. What's even more weird is that my friend's father owns CCTV...
