Gary Harwell - 2004-12-30

My questions are these...

If you were the victim of a Mugging, Violent Assault or Rape... would you stay in the country you were teaching in or would you quit your job and return to your home turf?

It would seem that English teachers would be a Cottage Industry in most countries. As a group they are not noted as having any actual Intestinal Fortitude beyond paying lip service.

What has been your experience?

If you were mugged or attacked in your home country, where would you run?

MY experience has been that of getting mugged by three guys on my way home in Kazakhstan. I spent 8 days in a FREE hospital. The cops caught one of the muggers and I stayed and went through the court system and faced the attacker in open court. It took a year but he got three years in a dark damp prison that is well noted for emphysema, TB and a host of other diseases that produce copious amounts of Phlegm.

The job turned out to be the best job I have ever had.
