In my job, the office isn’t always the office. Sometimes its a cinema, a cafe, a sound studio, a winery, a news printer, a gallery, a museum, a bowling alley… I have to admit, teaching English rocks! Check this out for just a few reasons to like work:
- with my previous class, we went out for coffee and yacked about soccer and watched Bend it like Beckham
- in my class at Victoria University we are studying films, so we get to watch movies as part of the course! (Last Friday we saw Gorillas in the mist)
- sometimes we listen to music, like Cat Stevens (unfortunately not his best song)

- at Melbourne University our class excursion ended up with wine tasting at the Rochford winery
- students brought a rich chocolate cake to class for my birthday last Monday
To top it all off, next month I will be taking up an invitation to work in China! Nothing has been confirmed yet but the details so far sound pretty good to me: a free return flight, free travel insurance, free accommodation, 1 week of holidays between the two blocks of 6 weeks. So stay tuned and catch me hanging out in Shandong province. I wonder if I can wear Chacos on hot days… [wp_geo_map]
And whatever you do, don’t work too hard!
