Just a few kilometres along the coast was the touristy town of Batu Ferringhi (BF). It took us a long time to find a hotel with a room for the three nights we wanted. Even the posh ones were full! Eventually we found the EQ Hotel which was nice enough at a reasonable price. It was very well located for the bars, restaurants and night market that draws most visitors to the town.

Hi Russ (and Trish)....i saw your post on \'Flight English\' forum. I too am a member but rarely contibute after long ago being put off by the, at times, arragance, one-up-manship, smug and perceived sense of self importance some of the main contributers continually display inbetween the odd relevent point or example of teaching technique. I have however read some of your posts here and there and looked at your blog before today. A fascinating life you seem to be leading, nice one. My wife and i have had a similar TEFL related life of travelling and teaching...love it. I am currently teaching Aviation English in Spain after many years of being in the general TEFL/ESL world. Anyway, i noticed a comment about you currently being in Vietnam and that is one place that has always been on my list of places to live and work before i hang up my \'chalk duster\' (interactive these days)...so i was immediately interested in your experience there and wanted to ask a couple of questions if you don\'t mind that is (as i dont know you from Adam). Are you teaching Aviation English in Vietnam or regular TEFL? What is your impression of the country from a TEFL couple point of view? Do you have any tips, suggestions for working there...Aviation English or otherwise or for just travelling around there also? Ok, thanks for your time and good luck in what looks like a great life you have carved out for yourself. Cheers. Rob Walton
