Yahooooo! It took some time but tonight I finally finished my TEFL course, that is... the core module. There ae still a couple of specialist modules to go but at least I can call myself a TEFL teacher now! The course itself, online only, was tough at times. Not because it was particular difficult but because I haven't been a student in many years. I had no idea anymore the dedication it takes to study,...

So tomorrow is the end of some pretty good price reductions on the i-to-i courses. I feeling pressured to decide before then whether to make the commitment to one of the courses. I hate that kind of pressure! Conceptually, I'm committed to the idea of pursuing ESL teaching in another country. But I'm still very fearful of whether the i-to-i organization is legitimate. I've made so many mistakes in my life. I really don't want this...

Well I went on a visa run for Astrid at the weekend to Hong Kong. Luckily I had Friday evening free so we took the 6pm coach there, arriving at about 10pm. We didn't take many things, just her big handbag for a change of clothes and a small one for her money so we decided to walk to look for hotels in Nathan Road which is famed for cheap hotels, especially hourly hotels!

The title says it all, Since arriving in China just over 4 months ago I haven't had much time to write on the chalkboard site. But now things are changing, I am leaving my job at EF and moving to work for a kindergarten in the same city, the hours are better and the pay is more which folks gives me more time to start blogging on a regular basis again.   So starting from...
