The one that offers the most NET income and you don't need to risk your life.

I'd say Middle East countries such as Saudi, Bahrain, UAE, ... and China.

I would look into Brazil. They have IT centers with very little English.

I've heard South Korea is a decent place to teach and affords the opportunity to save some money. Also, Saudi Arabia pays very well, but you usually need a few years experience to be considered for postions over there, and that sort of strict lifestyle isn't for everyone. Good luck.

Taiwan is a part of China.

I wouldn't go to Mexico... but hey, I like Latinas and I may risk my life for that. :-) Brazil is another choice but not Argentina.

Yes SK is a good choice but the cost of living there is very high.

Don't go to Saudi if you have to have alcohol. Except for Saudi, almost every other Middle East country allows alcohol.

Whatever country you wanted to live in where there is a job, after all, isn't that one reason to get the certification?

Be careful about countries with strict laws on sexual behavior. Something tolerated or ignored here and get you killed or jailed in some countries.
