This was in reply to a comment about the visa, not the whole thread. So i don't understand why you are responding to my point, which is on one aspect of the subject, without anything pertaining to it. Also, I've been working at NDI for a year, it's great. Of course I have complaints, but the majority of them stem from cultural differences, ie. face, or lack of direct communication. they also tend to suriprise you with things you need to do, with little time to prepare. I would also like to ask you, what makes someone a "decent" esl teacher?
