Hold on! You can't just end a story with a cliff hanger like that! Why didn't it end well? I've often dreamed of doing what you're currently doing. At the moment, I'm working on getting a degree, though I've been told you don't need one to teach over there. However, I'd rather take the proper steps because I've heard you can get a bad wrap by doing it the other way.
That didn't stop a few of my friends from going to China and teaching over the course of 5 years. Numerous times they practically begged me to come over, but I just felt as if my life wasn't organized. I'm beginning to realize how necessary it is to believe in yourself to take that leap of faith. I love hearing stories such as yours, because it pushes me ever so closer to that moment I may just "do it." I hope all is well with you now man. Looking forward to see the conclusion.
By the way sounds like a pretty cool dude. As for Logan, I'm American as well and can attest that people from BAMA are good peeps.
