Nha Trang 17/10/09

Since taking the PADI diving course i have been teaching English in a local school in Nha Trang. I teach twice a day, voluntarily, to a wide audience ranging from 12 years of age to about 30 years of age. The difference between the Vietnamese kids and the kids in English schools is that these kids actually want to learn, kids in English schools just want to mess about and cause the biggest disruption in order to fit in with their peers, in my opinion. I often wondered if i would end up teaching English on my way home, and here we are. The teaching experience has encouraged me to take a TESOL or TEFL course on my return to the UK, and who knows what will happen after that?

The picture (when i find a decent computer that will let me upload it) shows yet another motorbike defying the laws of physics with its load of beer. I think the best one i have seen up to now is a motorbike with 2 guys on, the guy on the back just holding a big sheet of glass between himself and the driver, or was it the one with the fridge on it? Or was it the one with the washing machine on? Or was it the one with the massive TV on the back?

On the 18th of October, i get the bus down to Saigon and i will stay there for 2 nights. I have booked my flight to India in order to pick the bike up and continue on my journey, i should get to Chennai on the 21st of October, the bike should get there on the 23rd, that's if the ship hasn't been delayed, again.
