Oooops
This is supposed to be a travel blog, and I haven’t traveled anywhere for some time.
Last year we returned to Indonesia. I made two trips to China. I stayed in Hong Kong,Wenzhou,Xian and Zhuhai. What have I done for you lately?
Nothing.
My excuse? I’m working. I work five days a week, usually not six. I have a family here and we just don’t get away that often.
That’s not to say that we don’t occasionally enjoy life. We get out to the pub. We go to the mall. We watch movies in the cinema, or on DVD. Add to that I’m as physically active as any other 45 year-old couch potato.
Hope your life is as much fun as mine.
All the best,Wayne

TEFL Training in Surabaya
It began in 2007.
We’ve been working with TEFL International to maintain a training center in Surabaya. Our first trainees were a mix of foreign and local students.
It’s a pattern that has repeated though each course that followed. We train local(Indonesian) teachers and foreign teachers.

I still think of the old days occasionally. There were, thankfully, more good times than bad times. I realize that's almost an
Edie Brickell song.
The Old Days There have been a few changes ...
