FROM CHINA TO KOREA
I have recently returned from two trips to China teaching English and I am about to start teaching again; this time in South Korea. I love travel, especially in Asia and by working there, feel I experience the country more than by just passing thru it.
My previous travels before China were 15 months in North America and Europe in 1975-76 and many South East Asian countries in 1980-81 for another 9 months. After almost another quarter of a century living in Australia, I got the travel bug once again.
This time I decided to do it slightly differently by working. I heard that it was possible to work by teaching English in some countries, so I arranged a job thru the Internet. After being ‘semi retired’ in beautiful, secluded, quiet, rural area on east coast of Australia, teaching in a city in China seemed to be the most logical choice.
After all, I had travelled thru India alone; how hard could it be?
Entry # 1 and # 2 are summaries of my two teaching trips to trips to China.
Entry # 3 to #15 is the start of new Korean teaching experience and includes holidays to Cambodia and North Vietnam.
Entry # 16 to #24 is my third trip, teaching in China including South Vietnam holiday
Entry # 25 to #29 is my separate travel trip to West China along the Silk Road for one month.
Entry # 30 onwards is my forth teaching trip in China.
I hope you enjoy this, my first ever, Blog. All feedback welcomed.
