Thrilling stuff isn't it? I hope my Geography teachers are real proud.

Good grief, I must get a life.

So, eight weeks left on my school contract. My boss has asked me to stay for a second year and while the money appeals (maybe 7-8K over the course of the year if I really knuckled down and saved hard), the idea of working six days a week in such a kid-heavy environment just seems a bit much. And another year in Huwei really? The words OF, BOREDOM, DIE and I WOULD... spring quickly to mind.

However, I've been job hunting already and I have found a couple of adult/business teaching vacancies (mainly up in the capital Taipei). Whilst I maybe couldn't save quite as much, I could I think still save some cash (and this would be balanced by, well, having a life!) as I'm quite the skinflint really (such shock! - a reader friend). I have an interview on October 7 up in Taipei and am applying for more such vacancies so wish me luck.

More updates when I have a sec...
