Might I suggest adding Taipei into the mix? I certainly made a lot more money (after expenses) in Taiwan than I do in China. I knew many people (myself included) who were able to live quite well and still have $1000 US or more to add to their bank account each month.

Yeah, I heard of Taiwan before but recently, I have heard a lot of friends saying Shanghai is coming up strong with salaries. I am considering moving there. |

Some schools in China began by offering me 6,000 (ridiculous) Shanghai is around 17,000. Shanghai is a lot of fun! My best friend is from Shanghai
What we need is a list of shipping costs, air freight and sea for the acquisitions abroad. I am buying a good Persian carpet, but I would like to know before I go what the air freight charges might be. It would be great if employers offered shipping as part of the employment package. I like to buy art, it's cumbersome but doesn't weigh much. |

Something to consider about Japan in general, and Tokyo specifically, is that the cost of living hasn't increased significantly in the better part of a decade. Rents have actually dropped, and a night out on the town is actually cheaper than a comparable night back in the US. Consider also that, in Tokyo, it's quite easy to pick up a few extra classes here and there for 2500 - 4000 yen per hour on average. | |
