New Rurouni Kenshin manga

[flonnebonne]

So the Watsuki Nobuhiro has started an AU version of Rurouni Kenshin:

Only two chapters so far. There's also an episode zero, but I haven't seen a translated version yet.

From what I hear, it's not the same story as the live-action movie version that was recently released.

At least you get flown over at all, with AEON (all eikaiwa, as far as I know) you pay for your own plane ticket. But they do give you a contract completion bonus, which I guess guarantees that you have enough money to get home.

Really, none of the eikaiwa do? In Korea or China some places fly you over even for a two-month gig. Though maybe that's actually just taken out of your paycheque.

In some places in the Middle East apparently they'll give you $8000 a month. Plus maybe an apartment and car. And a room of cash to roll around in.

Yeah, I've heard that the UAE is becoming pretty popular for teaching English. But I think you need teaching qualifications over there, which I don't have. And I don't think I'd enjoy living in the Middle East anyway. :/

Are you still looking to go overseas at all, or are you pretty happy with your current job?

[flonnebonne]

Yeah, I'm not too keen on living in the Middle East either. The money and perks make it pretty tempting though.

I think I might go overseas again in a couple years when my parents sell the house, but right now I'm okay with my current job. I'm (slowly) trying to write a textbook too in my spare time. I think I might go more into the curriculum development side of teaching eventually.
