Let's see I caught that tropical disease the HeBeJeeBees!

The other disease I caught was the Butterfly syndrome it's when I have that weird butterfly effect and I can't seem to stop things for the better..

Another disease the womanizer disease it's this disease that's been cast down upon me from ignorant flakes that don't know anything...

The jaundice it's yellowing of my skin

Disease of my hair foliclles this happens when I don't use shampoo..

I got the disease called the commonanimalias it's when I start acting like different animals such as a monkey, bear or zebra.....I farted in front of a ladies face it's part of my disease I can't control my bodily functions...

 

Worst disease is the PHillypoo disease and the TedLed me to do this disease.....powerful disease that can only be controlled by unknown beings...

TedDBayer:

Try wearing a tin foil hat. After careful consideration, I think you have3 Stooges Syndrone, you have so many diseases that they are trying to kill each other, resulting in your current condition. Now this does explain a lot.

I don't know what I caught but I was in bed for 3 days, if I ever tried to get up I would take (literally) 2 steps and fall over again.

 

I drank lots of water and electrolyte drinks and after losing 4kg I was right as rain.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
