Austria & Italy on the 27th of August
Off to teach again with English in Action, or EiA for short. They provide short teaching contracts across Europe. Short being 1 week. Basically, alocal secondary school donates one week of teaching time for a bunch of native speaking English teachers to be shipped over from England and taught.
I’m the youngest teacher with most of the other teachers being early 30s or retirement age. It’s a fun job, but the pay isn’t mouth watering. Houssam will be joining me which will be quite fun. I’ll inevitably use the kids to play pranks on him.
Last time I headed off I was sent to Vienna. While I was there Bush was in town.
I had to join. Was quite a riot. Somehow I didn’t picture myself strolling under the effigies of Mao, Stalin and Lenin.
It was quite a friendly affair though. I particularly likd the vans pumping out techno music for the fellow protesters to shake their booty in a statement against something or other.
