Possible alternatives

Well, I need to get out of here soon and move on. So I came up with four options, things I can do to get out of here in a relatively short period of time.
1. Volunteer at the Shambhala Mountain Center for the fall. I've already written them about the possibility of serving as an aid for a retreat the weekend of September 17th. I just sent them another letter about the possibility of staying on in some capacity for the remainder of the fall.
Pros: Would not cost much and be a good retreat
Cons: Lack of privacy
2. Work in Yellowstone until the end of October and then, well, maybe find a retreat to go to for a month. I got accepted last year about this time and especially if I were willing to work until the end of October I think I could get on. What do I do in late October, not really sure. The idea of a spiritual retreat, though, seems one I keep coming back to, so I guess I would somehow try to combine these two.
Cons: Lack of privacy, hard to see how this advances me in anyway
3. Fly to Thailand, spend a few weeks there, then head up to China and travel around China for a few months, making this a continuation of the Chinese woman project.
Con: Cost a lot of money, will not be able to do any serious running
4. Teach in China.
Con: Well, it is China.
Pro: If I found a decent place I might be able to train. Also could work on the book.

I was pretty impressed when I originally came up with the list, much less so now. Still, I need to face this rationally. There is a problem and I need to solve it. Here are some possible solutions. Pick the one you think best and accept responsibility for the decision. None of these really allow me to do any serious training, which I see as a drawback
