Travel/Working Abroad - Any Advice?
I'm matriculating this year. I'm planning to do a Bachelor of Arts in English and Education (to teach high school). My eventual plan is to settle down back home (South Africa) and study further - perhaps do my doctorate and lecture English. However, I really want to travel first. My current (pretty vague, I must admit) plans are to finish studying (4 years) and then teach English in Japan/Thailand for a few years to make some money. My mother was born in England. As far as I'm aware, if I play my cards right this gives me the right to live and work there. I'm especially interested in this because I'm dying to travel Europe and I have heard that it is easy to see the rest of the continent if you're already based there. I would like to ask for advice from anyone with experience involving working abroad (particularly in Japan/Thailand and the UK). What do I need to have/do? Is there any way for me to get a permanent residence so I can continue studying in the UK? How expensive is it to live in England and how easy would it be for me to find a job (preferably teaching High School English) once I am there? Any advice, pro's, con's or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

To many different question here and I will get bored trying to answer them. Except for Thailand where I live. If you want to teach here you need a degree in Teaching or a degree in any other area and a TEFL. You don't make much money here in Thailand, maybe $1,000 to $1,500 a month. You need to come here and look for a job. Finding a job will not be that hard. Then go to Malaysia and apply for a work visa. When you return your school should help you get a work permit. All this is good for one year, you have to do it again every year.

you should know thats it very UNSAFE for white women to TRAVEL ALONE TO JAPAN and hang out with Japanese men. although overall homocide is low in Japan, however, homocide and sexual assaults etc against foreign women is very high as a percentage of foreign female population in Japan. Japanese men have an unhealthy perverted fetish of white girls and many white girls are sexually assaulted and tricked by being lured to his apartment to teach him english etc, where she is then drugged and raped n murdered and chopped up and eaten. There will be a high chance you will be raped n murdered. Just google 3 very famous documented cases: issei sagawa, lindsay hawker and lucie blackman.
