I am leaving Aston this weekend and I for one will be sad. I have had a great time teaching for them,
I am returning home due to family commitments but hope to return in the future.

What exactly do you want him to do? You have left and he said he was sorry if you had a bad time there. I also know for a fact that during your time at Aston Xi'an you were happy and smiley and constantly telling the management staff that all was peachy. If nothing is said at the time then all that can happen is talk. Aston has given me language lessons, taken me to the hospital when I was sick, given me gifts on my birthday and for holidays treated me to countless meals and arranged trips and other activities. What exactly do you want them to do?

DON'T SPEAK FOR ME!! I am capable of speaking for myself. Aston is not perfect by any means but then no job is whether here or back home in that utopia that is The West. You spent no more than 6 weeks in China, I don't think this makes you an expert on the subject.

At the end of the day, you had probelms with the school that were not resolved before you left for whatever reason. This does not, in my eyes, warrant a personal attack on Owen or give you the right to be a mouthpiece for Aston teachers around the country of which I am an incredibly satisfied one
