I enjoyed your article specifically the swearing. Times Square Sukhumvit is a bone cold, boring, mostly deserted building, I’m surprised anyone goes to mall there. The hapless English teachers should avoid it at all cost.
Haha , loved it.
I did 6 weeks with ECC back in 1994, my first gig as a teacher.
I understand what you are getting at here but my English school is based in a mall and I don’t feel like I fit this category.
I never eat in the mall, I always go out to eat, it is very close to central Bangkok so people are used to seeing foreigners and I earn more than any job I have ever seen advertised here. I am definatly not a creature of habit and work with 8 other foreign teachers
As far as the world throwing a party I am not invited to…I start work at 12am so if I go out untill 2am getting to work the next day is no problem…every day is a party day and usually I am the one inviting people.
Brian - I love the reading, and many moons ago I did that task just not in a shopping mall. That didn’t last long ha ha ha
As a veteran of British American and ECC in the late nineties this brought back a few memories, mainly good ones tbf.
They gave me my first taste of teaching and I met some great characters both among the staff and students and the variety of classes was part of the fun.
Oh and I’d never be seen dead in a KFC or MaccyD’s - I was there to learn about the culture don’tcha ya know - only the finest food court B20 special for this ajarn
