To teach in Japan a TESOL is best as they don't really rate US teachers as bein gas good as their own, but do recognize TESOL certificates as being a seal of quality To teach in China begin a US teacher is best as they recognize your experience in the classroom, and consider the fact that you are a native speaker to be more important than a TESOL (English teachers in China mostly teach oral English, so being a native speaker is seen as ore important than anything else). You will make more money in Japan than in China, but living in Japan is more expensive. You can have a higher standard of living in China so long as you are prepared to put up with some of the inconveniences that you occasionally get (Like communism). Your money won't translate to much in dollars, but it will buy you a better life while you are in China. You also don't have to put up with Japan's over crowded transport system. I've known many English teachers in China. Most never had to travel further than a 10 minute walk to work, but in Japan you can travel an hour by train to work, or more.
