After being home from assorted travels for about a month, I’ve concluded one thing. I am not suitable for the first world. If I were in the States right now, I’d definitely be marrying into an Amish community (is that possible?) as to avoid anything and everything to do with money. Obviously, travel costs money and it can cost a lot, but the countries I was going to, your dollar goes further, or you could...

Golf

Another year of school began for Golf. With eleven years of living under his belt, Golf was ready to tackle pratom six with as much energy and enthusiasm as a coked-up rabbit in mating season. The subject Golf was most excited for was English. Despite being as talented at English as I am at coming up with appropriate analogies, English class was a place where Golf could truly express himself, and was thus his favourite....

Hey Bridget!

I'm very well thanks how are you? Where abouts in the world are you now? I'm afraid I don't actually know of anyone teaching in Georgia at the minute on Chalkboard, but I will keep my eyes out for you!

You should go for it! We'd love to read some more of your blogs if you do! Have to admit I've missed reading your blogs... would love to see a Georgia version of students singing Lady Gaga!

Take care,

Laura

Hi Bridget!

How's it going? I know there's probably one million other things that I should be doing with my day here, but I just wanted to say that I nearly just had an accident reading your latest blog about toilets :) It was so funny, mainly because it's true!

I just got back from a trip through Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar and totally share yourpain and laughs about it all! That feeling before you push open the toilet door and don't know what lurks behind the door...it's horrible!

What are your plans now?

Katie

Hi Bridget,

Love reading your blog. Just a quick question- do you find your salary covers your living expenses in Thailand or have you had to supplement with savings?

Thanks

Hi there,

I'm a newcomer and I have a few questions...

I'm 24 and French I have a current English but it's not my mother tongue so I would like to know if this program is good for me.

With the TEFL, could I really teach abroad? (Asia)

How many hours do I have to take 120, 140?

What is the difference between TEFL, the Cambridge CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL? and where can I attend them?

I already talk by email with some TEFL salesperson but I woud like to have the opinion of people like me

Thanks in advance

Hi Bridget! I was just wondering, did you guys find out before you left to Thailand what age group/ area you were going to be with and be? I would like to prepare a bit for lessons but will be difficult not knowing what age were teaching.

Hey Bridget,
I've just signed up for the October Internship, and all your posts and photos have been brilliant!! I am SO excited now!! Can't wait to be in Thailand!! :-)
How have you found the Thai culture generally? Are there any dos and donts?

Love your videos and photos Bridget! The kids are so cute, have you taught them any more Lady Ga Ga songs??

Hi Bridget!

Your posts are really helful, thanks for posting them. I was wondering if you know where abouts in Thailand th other interns were placed other than Lopburi?

Chloe x

Hi:-0 )

Would love to know how you are finding the internship so far? i've been going back and forth weather i should do it or not!!! How is Lopburi? I did some research and the area looks really quiet with a silly amount of monkeys roaming free!! lol am i anywhere close to that description? lol And how is your accomodation? Cant wait tell you start teaching so i can get a pre-insight into what i might be plunging into.

Well sorry for the questions, but been so eager to meet someone who had been and look like i've done one better as your living the experience now!!! And the internet didi you bring your own laptop or is there internet cafes near by!. Sorry again for all the question lol. Hope to hear from u soon:-0)

Hey Bridget!

I booked your internship for you with your mum.

I'm sure you're getting really excited to head over and start your new adventure! And it's great to see that you're already conecting with other interns who you will soon meet!

Make sure that you put up loads of photos so I can be super jealous of you having loads of fun in Thailand.

Until then, travel safely in South America!

Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

Have fun!!!
