Surely there are people that would do this for similar pay and a longer contract with more experience...
If i ever get a chance to teach in Japan and really like it, I wouldnt mind staying there for ever. when i really enjoy doing something like work I wouldnt care how much they paid me as long as i enjoy my job. : )
