Why did you choose so many of the most populous, polluted cities on the planet? Though I would love to visit many of those cities, I would die before I would move there and live in those nut houses.
Because that's what was available. There isn't a high demand for English speakers in small towns when 90% of all the economic activity is in urban areas.
It's called Hobson's choice. These are the cities I was given because that's where I'm needed. I would've gone to Rio de Janeiro if I had it my way, but there's not as high a demand for English speakers there; especially for people that don't have at least a year or two worth of experience.
OK, I didn't understand that this was a real choice someone (you) had to make professionally. I might choose Istanbul as it's centrally located to so many interesting places, for when I wasn't working. I think even Paris would only be a day away by train? Just one question; must you learn the local language before you go there and teach? If so, that might greatly affect my choice as Vietnamese or Korean would be much less useful than Chinese or Farsi in your future, don't you think?
In which of these foreign cities would you rather teach English?

Point taken. Shame, though.

That's just the way that it is.
