Ni hau! Good to hear from you. Sorry it's taken so long to respond. You and your wife must have some stories to tell! 5 years in Cairo must have been facinating, and now 4 years in Taipei. Sounds like you have it worked out pretty well where you can come home in the summer and yet be abroad in the school year. That's how we would want to do it too. You asked if i was serious about wanting to teach at an International School. I think so. Certainly my husand and I have talked about it a lot. We definitely wa
nt to know more about it anyway. We're both avid travelers and crave other cultures but no longer have the means to simply travel without working whle doing it. We have a baby which complicates the picture but we have said many times that we won't let that stop us from traveling.
how can we get a listing of International schools? Is there one? Whats is the pay like? Can you still get ahead if only one person works? Do you hear of lots of English tutoring positions? Is Taipei like Bangkok? a very crowded, polluted city with enough color and delicious food and beauty and nice people to make the drawbacks worth it? We found Thai people awfully nice. had a harder time on mainland China. Lots of mistrust and unhelpfulness we think in part 'cause my husband is American-Chinese and thus w
orse than a foreigner, a traitor. Anyway, any information or leads on finding out about teaching positions would be appreciated.
You asked for MT news. Well... there are 4 feet of snow on Big Mountain (ski area) in Whitefish and it'll be open by Thanksgiving. No snow on the ground at Seely lake yet but cold weather is setting in. There wa an article in the paper today about Seely Lake 'cause they are closing the landfill and will now be trucking all their waste to Msla. Cost will go from $44 pp to $130 pp. per year. Clinton continues to work on the transition into the White House. He's got a tough job ahead.
Do you ahve any students who would like MT penpals? I'd be happy to find students if you do.
