I just can't seem to sit down and do my assignment.

I have been trying now, since I was in Bangkok maybe three or four days ago (it is very easy too lose track of how much time has passed over here, not mention not having a clue as to what day of the week it is)to sit down and fix up my resume to apply for a English teachers position in Japan. The agency that I am planning to apply through is called Aeon, and they require a 500 words essay to be entitled, "Why I want to live and work in Japan". All that is not too difficult, a 500 word essay is a walk in the park compared to preparing a lecture the day before it is to be delivered, and while updating a resume can sometimes be a pain in the butt, it is essential merely a formal process. No, my main problem is that every Internet cafe that I have come across here in Chiang Mai is purely an Internet cafe. Ok, so I know that they are not claiming to be anything other than that, but when they offer services like CD burning, memory card reading etc. you would think that an occasional machine with Microsoft Word on it would not go astray.

Well I guess that it is all part of the strange challenge that rise up to meet you when you are on the road. I have to be out of Thailand by the 22nd of March, so am wanting to at least secure an interview or two before I arrive in Japan. Ah well, it looks like I am to get reacquainted with the limitations of using Word Pad and the accompanying frustrations.
