BACK TO SCHOOL

Here in Bangkok the school year starts in mid-May and goes until the end of September when it lets out for a month on holiday. Then it starts up again in November and continues until mid-March.

Summer break is now over in May as everyone puts their school uniforms back on, gathers up their books and heads back to school. For the two of us, thank God, we don’t have to wear uniforms like the students do. But we are gearing up for another semester of teaching English in Thailand.

By now you’ve probably grown right jealous of all these blog posts over the last two months entailing the mooky Saccharin of our dangerous adventures and romantic getaways in Asia. Now that we’re back in school, you can count on getting a healthy dose of real life. Long days of teaching mischievous teenagers, sweltering heat that makes your hair stick to the back of your neck, mosquitoes creeping into the bed at night: Yessir, it all comes with the territory. So sit back, relax and enjoy reading about us as we ride out the semester to see if we have what it takes to be…. (drum roll please)... DUN! DUN! DUN!: English teachers.
