Update On Plans

My plan is gradually shaping up. Within a couple of days, I managed to get a few offers from summer camps in Korea to teach English for a month. I’ve accepted one recommended to me by a mate. Teaching English to university students and business men who plan to go abroad. Should be good. They should be motivated. Will be different from the Dalian job since the syllabus is all prepared here. Don’t think there is much room for doing your own stuff.

So, I booked the ticket today. Leaving on the 27th. Just about a week left to spent time with family and friends. The time is too short but the only camps that I could find which started slightly later were only for 2 or 3 weeks, so I would just about have been able to cover my costs. With this job, I should be able to save money for China.

After finishing in Korea (near the end of August), I plan to go to Chengdu via Dalian. I can take a ferry from Korea to Dalian and then fly/train it from Dalian to Chengdu. Cheaper that way and also get to drop in on mates in Dalian!

Next job is to sort things out with the university in Chengdu... busy, busy!
