I won’t get paid during the holidays, and it’s the actual teaching that I dread.

I added the bit in brackets.
I think of the Woody Allen quote whenever I have a difficult session ahead. Once I’ve braved the early morning, the protracted train journey and the forced ‘good mornings’ , I think,’the most difficult part is over’.
Or as a long-standing colleague used to say, ‘think of the money…think of the holidays..’

Yes, people *are* kind to me, all the time.

I should have taken some pictures but I feel it’s a bit imperialistic and unfair to make entertainment out of other people’s struggle.

Wendy occupies me for hours a day. She doesn’t fancy me and in a general sense, she’s said more than once that it’s her daughter and her dog now.

This post drives home those rare and brief glimpses of how wonderful the human race can be, the kindness of strangers, be it goulash and grog…

The landscape reminded me of all those tin shacks i’ve seen in places like the Dominican Republic and Mexico or the half finished little houses of Jamaica, i’ll have to remember to include the landscape next time i get into the travel posts… good stuff as usual my good sir…

(and what’s with Wendy? can’t she find someone else to torture? to place rules on? someday you will learn my friend, lol!! it’s more trouble than it’s worth… of course i’m just a bitter bastard who has forgotten what lust or love or even a keen liking of the opposite sex feels like…)

That’s a great quote– extended by you I assum.

I’ll carry on for a bit. Wendy was urging me to come home. But what to? I can’t get even minimum wage jobs here, and having people saying they’re glad your back and that they love you doesn’t pay the rent.

I think most people in teaching have that ‘sense of huge anxiety’ crushing them in the night.People with 30 years under their belt still have it. After all, being with your own kids is hard enough, let alone with a room full of ungrateful, hostile little strangers.
Keep going though. As Woody Allen says, 80% of success is turning up( and that is often the hardest part).

You certainly had my attention with the title of the post!

The policemen were very kind! How absolutely refreshing!

Agree with the others that you need to take good notes. You could be writing the most important reading material for anyone considering moving abroad to teach English!
