Just out of curiosity, are there any specific types of jobs that offer "package employment" for expats in Asia?. By "package employment" of course, I mean: 1) housing provided, 2) transportation costs 3) visa fees and etc... I'm obviously an English teacher in Asia but my question is this: Is English teaching the only (or best) "package employmemt" opportunity available for expats in Asia or are there are other well kept-secrets out there? If you have anything constructive to add, please help out. note: I'm already trying to look into Volunteering but I'm turned off by the high fees that some of these international and/or grassroots organizations ask for. I would however, be interested in volunteering in Asia (as a teacher perhaps) if housing/meals were provided.

I've been offered work by foreign imp-ex companies, and what they pay [called, local contract] is less than a teaching job. For example, translating is less paid than teaching. Want to puke, no? So enjoy your teaching, or look for s.th. different abroad. That foreign company might bring you here with a different contract [expat], if you really enjoy life in China.
