Popular Post maqroll Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) I'm revisiting the idea of moving to Pacific Mexico and teaching English as a foreign language. Lower cost of living. Better weather. No MAGAs. I'm going to take a long look at this. I have nothing tying me down.

I wondered if we put the old one at the end of our drive whether the scrap-men would take it. Then we went for a walk and someone on the next street had put the exact same toaster at the end of their drive. Ain't that weird? This morning, I popped bread in to the new toaster, pulled it down and noticed two inches of bread still sticking out the top. Of all the things you might want to consider when buying a new toaster, "does the bread fit in it?" shouldn't have to be one of them. Are you me? I could have written this exact post this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to chat about teaching English as a foreign language, I would be happy to help with whatever questions I can answer. I've been doing it (or versions of it) since 2008.

A guy at work is from a bit inland in Jalisco, I think, and says his home town is risky. His wife is looking to sell a house her family owns in Sinaloa very cheap before some just takes it by force and they get nothing. This is coming from a guy who was shot in his own back yard at his son's birthday party in the US, so if he says it's bad, it's bad. Probably the places that are safest are the bigger, more modern touristy areas, but they may be less likely to have large populations needing to know English who don't already speak it.

I started off in a secondary school, then as a teacher in an Armenian primary school. After that, I did a stint for Siemens there doing in house teaching. Then I started on my current path as a pre-school/elementary guide in kindergartens in Istanbul and here. Now I'm currently finishing my qualification as a full blown Montessori guide. The course was meant to be in Prague but COVID switched it all to online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2021 Just found (dead) the most evil looking spider I've ever seen in my life in my sink. So glad I found it dead and didn't encounter it live, it oozed malevolence. I'm pretty sure it was a false widow which can give a pretty nasty bite.
