Hi everyone,
I'm considering moving from the UK to Penang to find a teaching job.
I just wanted to know if anyone has ever done this? If so, what advice/tips/precautions etc can you offer?
Thanks in advance!

Make sure you get all the advised immunisations, refuse the anti malarial drugs because they're rubbish, tuck your degree under your arm, and give it a blast.
If you were to get all sensible instead of wild and crazy, I'd go for a holiday first with a photocopy of your degree, see if you like the place, then go job hunting.
Avoid the area around a pub called "Soho", the ladies have sausages (Unless that's your cup of tea)
