Hey everyone, I thought I would talk a bit about the school as I have been getting many questions about it. We had our first staff meeting today. All week we will be picked up at 8:30 a.m. Yes, I actually drag myself out of bed at 6:30 a.m. to work out, eat breakfast and get ready. It's a miracle...I know! School officially starts the 30th of August so we have all this time to set up our classrooms. My class is smaller than Chantal and Anita's classes and I have no bathroom! That will be interesting - DID I MENTION [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, It is my first official day in Abu Dhabi, well actually my second but we arrived late last night. The flight was very long..I did not sit next to anyone with B.O. but I did play arm jockey for 7 hours with some guy who thought that a quarter of the space on my side should be his...so finally I just rested my arm on his. British Airways from Toronto to London was pleasant and the food edible. The flight from London to Abu Dhabi however was not. The food was almost unedible...in fact I had to ask them [View Full Entry]

Today was the start of our trek home. Yesterday we hung out in Amman, Jordan all day so that we wouldnt have to wake up early to catch a bus to the airport. We flew from Amman to Dubai and had about 11hrs here in Dubai. We actually left the airport and went out into the city for awhile. We got to see the world's tallest building and the Dubai skyline. It is pretty amazing considering there was NOTHING here about 15 yrs ago yet now giant aquariums, golf courses, new island chains in shape of palm trees and the world's [View Full Entry]

Well we've made it as far as Dubai without too much trouble. Currently sat on some chairs drinking a Starbucks, its not a bad life. Our flight to Bangkok is in about an hour so. The flight here was fine, had a few drinks, watched a couple of films and played a couple of games. Might try and grab a little sleep on the next flight as we'll be arriving about midday Bangkok time which is about 5 am GMT. Right gotta dash as our flight is about to board. Will try to post again fairly soon. Bye for now! [View Full Entry]

Currently sat in Dubai and thought now was as good a time for any for my first entry- won't be a long one though, our connecting flight to Bangkok will be boarding shortly. For those of you reading this who are not aware I'm currently making my way to China to start a job teaching English- must be going mad! I'm embarking on this adventure with a friend from university, Oli (I'll post a link to his blog later when I have more time). Anyway, we started out at Oli's house in Bolton this morning, and now we're in Dubai. Its [View Full Entry]

We got up at 3am, and loaded the car with the assistance of a cup of tea (thanks Anne!). Then off to the airport for 4am to check in before the 6am flight. Cath got randomly chosen to be screened for explosives. (Cath - Can't think why they thought I was potentially explosive!! LOL. ).The plane was luckily fairly empty and we could move around and even use 4 middle seats as a bed. The flight didn't seem to take too long to me, after all it was only 11 hours! We landed at Dubai and got everything off the aircraft. [View Full Entry]

DUBAI Wie alle zwei Monate muss ich wieder ausreisen, um mein Touristenvisum in Katar zu verlängern. Da Dubai zu den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten gehört, hat man automatisch ein Visum für 7 Emirate. Emir ist übrigens Arabisch und heißt Prinz. Damit gemeint ist wohl eine Art Königreich. Wir haben also im Vorfeld den Flug und das Hotel gebucht. Haben uns noch Innformationen von Arbeitskollegen geben lassen, wo man am besten was sehen und erleben kann. Dann ging es endlich los. Donnerstag: 30. Juli 2009 05:00 Uhr, aufstehen. Fertig machen und mit Martin, meinem Mitbewohner die a [View Full Entry]
