#2 I don't think she's the most notorious teacher in the world, but she seems to like teaching in dictatorships. If she had chosen Singapore as her next venue, her saga would have proceded to its logical conclusion.

#4 then starts handing out blue handkerchiefs for Britain Day to remember the opening of trade 1834.

BTW, I've been on 'holiday' in Cancun, but people keep telling me that it is not indicative of the rest of Mexico.

#5 As long as she stays out of the Uighar region of China, she can stay out of trouble with the Muslims.

I wouldn't call teaching in China exactly a step up. The Chinese government are equally viscious when it comes to Westerners, inappropriate public behavior or comments; or undesired private behavior in any event. Falun Gong, protesting in Tiannamen square, support for the Dalai Lama and Tibet and attending underground churches comes to mind. Open support for Taiwan in regards to the Chinese military buildup can be treacherous.

#6 Great, another failed human coming to China to teach English. The Chinese are going to be furious one day when they finally figure out the caliber of person that they get when they advertise for teachers at $500/month. But, the Chinese absolutely refuse to accept anything but basic instruction from a Chinese teacher - the foreigner is paramount.
