SiamSap - 2005-05-25

I've heard kids up South Korea way are much more serious in the classroom than they are where I am in Thailand. Maybe I should run and forget the rest of my contract. As far as money goes, when I finish up here in Thailand, I will be about 1500 USD ahead of where I was one year ago. Mind you, I've subtracted the cost of my TESOL course, air fare to BKK, airfare back to the US, and various 'unavoidable' expenses here, such as food when the mess hall has been closed during breaks (for over two months during summer break), from my salary. If I would have lived like a hermit all this time and starved for two months, I STILL would have been only about 2500 USD ahead. If I were paying for rent and for food at my school, I think I may be finishing up in the RED when I'm done.

I need to get someplace where I can make some good money teaching for a change. Thailand ain't it.
