"It was absolutely worthwhile but I would have chosen a different site in Mexico had I known what Monterrey was like prior to going there. "

"I will never accept a teaching job in another country without living there first for at least three months. Going into it blindly is difficult, to say the least, because one cannot account for the cultural differences without living them first. I would definitely never want to teach in Costa Rica.
