Preparing for the big adventure



I passed my physical and was deemed healthy by my physician. My passport has been renewed. All my paperwork has been sent to my new school. I should be getting my flight information soon. Relocating to Thailand is quickly becoming a reality.

Check out the school by visiting https://www.edline.net/pages/Thai_Chinese_IS

The Thai Chinese International School (TCIS) is a private, non-profit, day school for boys and girls founded in 1995 for the purpose of providing English language education for the Taiwanese community of Bangkok, as well as Thai and other communities. I will be teaching 7th Grade Language Arts.

The apartment complex where I will probably live is Thana City which consists of six buildings and include swimming pools, three restaurants, three mini marts, a Thai massage parlor, a salon, and three bars. The apartment is close to school but not so close to downtown. I will have to save my trips downtown for the weekend.

Stay tuned for next time when I answer the question that I have heard repeatedly since accepting this job, "Why do you want to go to Thailand?"
