My friend Eamon is an English teacher currently living in Taiwan who has also lived and taught in China, South Korea, and the US. He has been through a really rough past few years, and he just got back on his feet to share his experiences of what it's like being an English teacher in Asia vs. America. He also talks about what it's like to learn Mandarin Chinese, and about the safety differences between Taiwan and America. Enjoy!
