Oh so long since I've been here. I've been ESL Taiwaned. My first job at a school here ended with a month-long catharsis of meetings that clarified nothing. From talking with many other teachers here, a good half of new teachers to Taiwan end up in a back contract with a school that abuses them. I could be over estimating, but from speaking with the group of about 40 teachers I know, easily half have had a similar experience. I just decided not to put up with it, and resigned. I do have a part time gig, and I've had some great teaching experiences-the students were great (most of them) and my coworkers are top notch, just the biz was not. So, I am forging ahead. Please pardon the three week break, but I've been in, arrrrggggg, meetings in almost every free moment-except weekends where we get out into the world.
So here are just a few shots to end a week where officially I am done at one place and moving on. Here's some shots of things that keep me going when the heat turns up...
