RE: What are best ways to start-out teaching EFL in indonesi HI Daneyo I used to teach in Mahatma Gandhi school in Denpasar. I know they are always looking for nw teachers. Their email is [email protected] if you want some more information. This is a national-plus school, which means...

So basically the consensus is: Great to look at, but dangerous to look at too much.....(like an eclipse.) Def: Dangerous (adj): makes you forget your wife; makes you hungry for more; makes you pine for what you can't have.... :D :D :D

Hey Sorry, Roy, I'm guessing he's going to stay single a little longer! As for teaching, well the school I was at are looking for teachers right now. As you know, I don't have a great opinion of that school, although the salary is good and so are the students. But I know of aother schools...

Hello everyone! I am back in Bali, and so excited to be here! I actually just got a job in Japan, but I had a month before it starts. My plane took me to Bangkok, but when I got there I remembered how much I hated that city, and early the next morning bought a ticket to Denpasar, raced home...

Hello everyone! I am happy to hear everyone is okay after the bombings. Although i am no longer there, I was very afraid for all the friends I had left behind, but it turns out they are all okay. I am in Vietnam right now, having an amazing time. I have done some trekking around this most...

god yes, I know what you mean. Speedos are bad in any case, but on huge fat man......ew. I got quite a shosck when I first got here, men in New Zealand wouldn't be caught dead in speedos!

Hey I found Bahasa indonesia extrmely easy to learn, but I think I had a grat advantage to begin with. I speak Maori (the other official language of NZ) and the two languages are surprisingly simelar. I really don't know why there are! (although indonesian is easier.) but structures and...

Hi Although I have not had a relationship with a Balinese, a lot of my friends have, so I thought I'd throw my two cents in. Balinese men are very good at being charming and sweet and romantic. But often its hard to tell what they are really after. (I'm talking mainly about younger guys here)...

HI Tracey. So glad to hear it's going well. You have all my best wishes. Wow, you were at SAi Sai (sorry EXILES now)? that's crazy, pity your'e not here now and we could meet there. Great to hear you're doing well. By the way, if you met me you might not think I'm that energertic. Roy...

HI Everyone! Just a post to say I'm still here. Still here and loving it! The school is keeping me enormously busy, (exams coming up) so in the weekends I barely have time to catch my breath, jump on my bike and race off to somewhere lovely for the weekend. I usually come to Ubud about everyone...

Yeah, it rocks meeting people in person :) They're never what you expect! Any other people on this forum want to meet up? I'm always keen. Although I don't know where people are living, but I do travel around a lot. Cass

Same for me - I haven't felt in the slightest bit worried since I arrived. The only time I even thought about terrorists attacking was when someone invited me to spend Christmas with them in Kuta. It would be so unlikely that anything would happen, BUT I knew that if someone was planning...

Haha Roy! You know, I did get pretty stared at when I was going to your house, maybe the rumour stuff is not so far from the truth! Certainly everyone was interested in what I was doing there! But your wife is very lovely, I can't imagine you straying. :wink: Actually, I think your driver is...

Hi Sanurian! They mix methanol into arak??? That's unbelievable! Methanol kills you fast, and blinds you faster. I'll tell my friend, she's always drinking arak, but I can't stand the stuff, or the hangover, so I avoid it. As for the season, yeah, I thought we weren't getting a whole...

Hi There's nice snorkling all around Bali, around Padangbai is good and Tulamban is great (that's where the famous diving is). But the best snorkling I've seen is on the islands around Flores, and the Gili islands. The most breathtaking snorkling I've ever seen in my life was on the boat from...

Hey Manga Ganga The rainy season is okay, you get plenty of sun between the rainfalls, and there's way less tourists at that time of year. Bali is a really easy place to back pack in, it's all set up for tourists! People everywhere are willing to help out with anything you need. Public...

Meeting the famous Roy! :lol: Oh Roy! :lol: It's so random that I happened to see you write that - I'm almost never on this travel forum. You're a pretty good partier yourself, and i bet you would have lasted a lot longer if you hadn't had to go home to your family. Yes, I met up with...

Dear Tracey I am so sorry to hear that. I know that there's nothing anyone can say or do to make things better, but just remember, we are all thinking about you, and sending you well wishes. Love to you and your family, Cassienne

Hi The school I teach in is okay. I'm kinda tried of it though. The kids are pretty cool - naughty sometimes, but they are very responsive and usually interested in what youre teaching. I don't want to say too much about the school though, people have been fired for less here. If you want...

PADI diving school. They have them all around the world and they're good. But expensive. But good. Cassienne
