Yesterday, Judy actually confirmed our enrollment in TEFL International, a school in Ban Phe, Thailand, for a one-month course toward certification in teaching English as a foreign language. Bolder yet, she also scheduled our flight; so the trip is on. We’ll arrive in Bangkok on April 24 and return in mid December after a journey long in distance and time and large in adventure and reward.
We still feel vigorous enough physically to venture forth and want to take advantage of this good fortune. You be the judge of our sanity.
TEFL International is located in Ban Phe, Thailand, a seaside village, southeast down the coast about one hundred twenty-five miles south of Bangkok. We’re going there not to learn English, obviously, but how to teach it to non-native speakers, whose language we won’t understand. We believe that the TEFL certification will open opportunities for us to explore in other Asian countries over the six months following the course.
We’ll be posting pictures and comments on this site during the journey. The most up-to- date pictures and journal entries may not have made it onto this web yet. These will be posted first on our associated Group sites, which are reached with the links to the left.
Check in from time to time. And please e-mail Judy or Ira.
