Adventures in English Teaching
So you might have noticed that I don’t talk about my job here much, and there are several reasons for that. It’s mostly because I’ve read a lot of people blog about teaching and I personally found it less than enthralling, and that was before I was teaching.

Of course, all the teachers at our school got stuck with the latter method, and the girl who usually goes in for us (we have to report to immigration in Nong Khai, on the border with Laos) was busy, so a coworker and I went in a university car. Nam also came along with us to help clear any snags that might come…

I noticed yesterday that Max’s eyes are turning brown. Or maybe it was just the lighting. Until now, his eyes looked black… Yeah, maybe it was just the lighting.
