Back in Chiang Mai

Got back to civilisation yesterday after a 3 day trek in the jungle which I will write more about once I have composed my thoughts a bit better. In the mean time however I have booked my ticket to Japan - I fly out on the 20th which gives me a little bit of time to look for a job when I get there before the start of school term. It actually only gives me one week, and most jobs will have already been filled so Iam really relying on the "cold feet" syndrome in which some teacher pull out at the last minute. I have been in contact with one Aussie over there who did rock up at about the same time and found a position no worries so I will just have to wait and see what happens. I still have the Aeon option, however, there is not as much stress there as they hire all year round. Once in Japan I will have to attend interviews all over the shop so it looks to be back to hectic schedule by the end of March.

I hope all goes well, however if things don't pan out I am thinking of heading across to Taiwan to try and get a teaching gig over there. Perhaps not as appealing as Japan, but I think over all I will be able to save a lot more money for the next leg of the journey if I do end up there.
