wow, good news, indeed..congrats

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Good Morning, Vietnam!

Did you teach them Adrian's kind of English?

It's been a while since I saw that movie, but slang came up. One of them wanted to know what sh!t meant, so I felt obliged to define it. It was an adult class, so they could handle it.. Method? I made a mooing sound, a farting sound and then acted like I stepped in it. I then said "Awwww sh!t man!". Two birds meet one stone.

Sweet! CONGRATULATIONS!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I began a new career as an English Teacher in Saigon today! I was told when they hired me on Friday that there would be a Vietnamese teacher that I would assist. When the time came for me to go to class I was informed that I was flying solo. No lesson plan, or any plan for that matter! I had to wing it for 3 hours. Needless to say I'm exausted.

Congratulations ! Did you have to take TOEFEL ?

You know what's weird.

At that part of the country, I do know that the English there is broken English taught by teachers who also speaks broken English. If they made you a real teacher, that would've been better for them.

When I was in Cambodia, I taught at a University for a little bit. I really wanted to teach them Calculus, Differential Equations, Modern Physics, etc...But, instead I taught English. It's too bad that Cambodia don't have an emphasis on science and math. Instead, they emphasize on acting and singing, and politics. That is pretty much how you get ahead in Cambodia.

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!
