My first lesson in Vietnam has been taught..hurrah! It was a one-on-one Corporate class with a dude that works with Cisco systems. Jeeeez, this is millions of times more rewarding than teaching in Korea. I'm not being watched, for one, or required to stand or play with stinking Liliputians for hours and hours. I'm psyched about planning my lessons

fashion!

this is the ultimate example of fashion before function! i love thinking of what sort of outfit it is meant to accessorize.

i think you're actually supposed to wear it to bed so you can wake up with that fresh morning helmet head look.

ooh, tell us about the creepy teacher!!!

seems like esl teaching is the perfect career for misfit types (se asia also being the land of misfit toys). we have a former mime from flint for instance, who rides his bike everywhere (really scary in hanoi) and refuses to use a phone. the creepy teacher is so strange though. he's cultivated some image of himself that i haven't quite discerned yet. maybe like chris angel (of mindfreak fame). open shirt with a big pewter cross on his shaven chest. flowing hair. a background in marshal arts. really loud voice with a thick boston accent (eventhough he's from australia). tells sort of awkward anecdotes that usually include bizarre violence. types like he's trying to hurt the computer. oddball.
