Intro: A description of English teaching in Asia

Like taking off in a balloon,

Cheap and cheerful, a pleasant start,

Up, up and away,

Soon in the throws of a fickle wind, this way, that way, the other way.

However, a more interesting work experience is hard to find.

Many places to choose, many places to choose, so choose and enjoy,

One things for sure, when you have finished

you are probably in for a long walk in tattered clothes.
