Hey all
My name is Amy, and Im a graduate of English and History from NUI Maynooth in Ireland. I am currently living in Rattana Buri, Surin Province, Thailand, and I am a full time ESL teacher in a high school with the TTT Internship.
I love travelling, reading anything you throw at me, learning new languages and my ideal job is teaching English on a beach somewhere nice and hot lol.
If anyone has any cool infro regarding working in Korea (planned next stop) or Japan (a must see for me) just drop me a line.
Also, anyone interested in the May 2013 TTT Internship, or about teaching Thailand in general, can ask any questions they want.
Sawatdiikha.

I have just come across a blog of yours from last year (seems like you easily 'come across' old blogs on here!) about wanting to go to Japan and being scared of the idea because you're a fussy eater, and I had remembered that you're now in Thailand (I think I've read some other blogs of yours before!) and smiled to myself. I can imagine that people might have a passion to go one place, but end up going to another country instead! I just wondered how you ended up deciding on Thailand instead? I reaaally want to go to Thailand but Japan does seem so cool as well, especially Tokyo! (Ok, I know nothing about any other city in Japan) but I'm also quite fussy with food....well, if you call having a 'phobia' of fish/seafood fussy, and I can be funny with some meat, if I didn't know what it was/if it tasted different to what I'm used to, so I have too been a little worried about this, but I figured I could become a vegetarian over there if I wanted to lol.
Anyways, I just wanted to know how you've coped with the life change etc, and how you're getting on?
I REAALLY wanna do the Internship but I'm skint :'( I had a plan to go Thailand in like Jan/Feb when the weather's at it's best but that idea's looking slim now since I've still not found a job :( and I still don't have enough in my savings. FML.
Sorry this is so long :P I do digress a lot!

How far through the application process are you? Did you put a preference of location for when you're out there?
Would love to hear from you! x
