Spoilt BratsMr Newton sighs, "ever known anyone so spoilt you would love to strangle? I lived with a Paris Hilton-a-like who complained about everything, stomped her feet and whinged till she got her way. There was a happy ending though: she had to drop out of uni due to becoming pregnant after a one night stand..."
Who's the spoiltest person you've met? Has karma come to bite them yet? Or did you in fact end up strangling them? Uncle B3ta (and the serious crimes squad) wants to know.

Hmmm...To weigh up the cons
Language- I'm a fast learner, so I should be fine
Thieving gits- I'm a tightwad, so hopefully won't be too much trouble.
Career progression- HAH!
British TV/Culture- I need a break from all of that.
Missing friends/family- Nothing I can do about that, but I can always come home if it gets too much.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language can be sheer exploitationand really crap once the novelty of being abroad wears off. A lot of schools will just try and rip you off as they know foreigners don't know the local labour laws and don't have the contacts with the police to get their rights respected (and that's if they know enough of the local language to make themselves understood to the authorities, who won't necessarily fall over themselves to help foreigners). It's not beyond schhols to lie through their teeth over the phone re accommodation, workload and pay, then muck you around once you arrive and you're thousands of miles from home.
