I saw an ad offering over 4k USD monthly, plus airfare, housing, health insurance, and paid vacations for teaching positions. Is this the norm over there? Because if it is, it's a well kept secret; South Korea isn't even offering packages like that and they're getting all the coverage. Does anyone k...

That sucks, I really hope they get into huge trouble with an actual government someday. Even if the pay were the same, I'd rather try out working in the middle east over Korea.
