Hi there everybody,
I've decided to teach English in the Ukraine in September 2008 and would like ANY TIPS/TRICKS/ADVICE you can offer? This is the information that I have so far. Please verify if the information given to me was truthful and accurate? :

1) Don't expect to make very much money teaching English in the Ukraine, expect to simply survive (pay for rent/food/transportation)
True or False?

2) Do not teach in smaller towns, pick either Kiev or Odessa as the top 2 choices.
True or False?

3) Teaching Business English is the most profitable form of English instruction in Ukraine.
True or False?

4) For living accomodation do not stay in a hotel. They are far too expensive. Rent an apartment or look at living with a Ukrainian home-stay family?
Which is better?

5) Ukrainian women are the most beautiful women in the world. They are highly educated, have strong family values and are not 'gold diggers' looking for a free ride to Canada?
True or False

Well, that's about it for now. Thanks for reading my questions. I hope you can help me verify facts from fiction?
Thanks again in advance!
