Alex learns to teach and considers Taiwanese culture. A bit.

For the past fortnight, I've been getting to grips with the fundamentals of teaching in Taiwan, quite aside from the lofty ideals poured down onto our naive little heads during the training week in Taipei.

Glad to see you're settling in, no horror stories to report? I chortled at the 'lofty ideals' part, here I was expecting a tight ship, a well-oiled military machine of a buxi-ban. Nope, it's almost as chilled as being in Thailand again :-) Guess that might change next week when my full 26.5hr schedule kicks in but until then I'm having a ball...

26.5? Ouch. I'm looking at a straight 20 once we're back on normal time next week.

No utter horror stories yet, couple of knocks and bumps in class but no more split lips or anything along those lines. Glad to hear things have been alright so far on your end, barring the obvious.
