This is my happy video du jour: Dancing on the Train

[yaramaz]

This is a strangely addictive little viral video making the rounds here in the Middle Kingdom- a couple of foreign teachers...dancing on the train. I really love the second half, when all the passengers start dancing too.

Nice vid

I liked this even if it only serves to teach me that I should have worked in China where teachers obviously get a lot of free time.

Do you have an LJ account? If so, you can sign in as that ID. Otherwise, I think it is either Anonymous or Open ID (don't know much about that).

Sorry I just got this comment now, 10 days late- LJ is blocked in Myanmar and a lot of proxies don't support the scripts needed to comment. Ugh.

As for lots of free time, well, I do about 18 hours a week in the classroom and I work for one of the harder places (an Aussie joint venture)/ If I was okay with a huge pay cut, I could be doing 10-12 hours in a Chinese public uni. It's never too late!

I must say, I DO have a lot of free time here, compared to what I know of teachers in other countries (though my high school and uni jobs in Turkey were comparable if not even cushier). Thus, time for a big new blog and photography and travel...
