Hey dumb question, but I've lived in China in the past and I'm somewhat conversational in Mandarin (still actively learning it) so they would probably send me back there to teach English if I join. As cool as it would be to see a new country, I'm not entirely opposed to this, but it makes me wonder. Just straight getting a job teaching English in China is apparently p easy, so should I even bother volunteering? If they send you to a university somewhere, do you get any kind of paycheck from the school? I assume no, since its a volunteer program, but the idea kind of makes me hesitant. It seems like I'd be doing something the long way around for less benefit.

Just got an email saying they're considering me for Ukraine, actually my third pick, September of next year.

Should be cool.

So uh, I was told I was under consideration for Ukraine a while back but they've never followed up on telling me when I will be interviewed or so on. How long am I supposed to wait?

Yea, actually I would trade you Ukraine for Indonesia if that was an actual option. I leave in Sept tho.

Speaking of which, finally got my interview today. I hope I didn't come off too goony!

e: Are there any other goons in/going to Ukraine?

Oh, fyi, I've posted in this thread in the past but I got an e-mail saying they had no position for me. So yes, you can actually be rejected if you're a skilless goon.
