On a normal day, I don’t expect to find myself setting an alarm for 5 am. But today isn’t a normal day. Today I have my first job interview with a school in Korea. The moment I’ve been waiting for all this time has finally come. Once the documents were ready to go...
Finally meet Harry, who will also be heading to South Korea with Teacher's Friend's full relocation package. Harry was about to move to Vietnam just before the pandemic. After completing the theory for his government accredited, international TEFL course with...

One of the joys of teaching English in Vietnam is how much you get to travel. My three friends and I wake up. We're tired from a night on the town dancing in the city's nightlife among locals and ex pats alike. The beer was flowing and the music was bumping. A great...
Today was my trip to Halong Bay! When I got to Grant’s, I realised he was bringing his eight-month-old son, and that Hien’s friends were bringing their three-year-old kid. Oh dear, I was not aware of this! I slept most of the way to Halong Bay, which is a good thing...
After a formidable effort, a great amount of gesticulation and a bunch of clarification, I finally managed to get the contraception pill sorted. After a few phone calls with the pharmacist, I’d managed to find my pill (under a different name). Here’s to hoping that...

We got up at around 9am and headed for the hotel’s breakfast. I stuffed myself with a chip and bacon butty (alright, you got me – four chip and bacon butties). I had the distinct suspicion that the stone and a half I’d lost was going to go straight back on at...
Hoi An Day Three I was awake at 6am and lazed around in bed until 9am, which was amazing!! I love holidays. I hired a bicycle and cycled to the beach, past the rice fields and over a little lantern bridge, it was lovely, so peaceful! I had to pay 5000 vnd to...
