Plus no experience with cyclone weather. would appreciate any insights, advice, and no sugar-coated replies. thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707880230096603122.post-42391352747959207742009-07-08T16:50:01.736-07:002009-07-08T16:50:01.736-07:00Andries -

I got the job through the French government - they regularly employ American (and also British and Australian) students to teach English in France and her overseas territories (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion and Corsica). It is called the English Assistantship Program. You should be able to find it through google. They may hire individuals from other countries as well, although I am not certain. Anyway, they pay you enough so that you can survive and have a little bit of spending money, and you only have to work for around 12 hours a week, so it is not ridiculous. Let me know if you have any more questions. <br /><br />Best,<br />SethSethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827339249996574672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707880230096603122.post-41522947906075079052009-06-16T17:31:24.371-07:002009-06-16T17:31:24.371-07:00Yo man,

I'm from Cape Town in South Africa. Anyways, I'm teaching in Jeju Island in South Korea right now. Very similar to Reunion as it is a volcanic island and in the summer the weather is just like Reunion. I'd like to hear from you about how you got a job there, because in the near future I'd like to teach there too. Feel free to ask me questions about Reunion from a foreigners perspective if you have any.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Andries<br />andriesheyns@gmail.comAndries Heynshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502400873613750473noreply@blogger.com
