Thanks Jen!
Regarding Visa, I come over on a holiday visa (which just arrived today - yay!) and then they get me the working visa while I'm there.
I don't speak Indo, although I have been trying to learn a little bit off the internet before I get there. I won't need it when I'm teaching, for EFL we teach English in English....not actually as hard as it might sound, and you don't need to know the language of the students. In fact, it's almost better if you don't, then you aren't tempted just to translate (big no-no).
What made me take up this position?? do you have to ask? Bali! That's why!
I was applying mainly in Thailand, also in Japan, both of which would have been awesome, specially Thailand, cause I'm a beachy, relaxed kinda girl - and then I saw a job in Bali, so I applied straight away. I never thought I was going to get it - hell, I thought everyone would be applying, but I did! I think casuse of my science background - I did a chem degree (very uncommon in English teachers) and some physics and bio. So that was cool. And then he said, when can you get here, and I signed the contract and booked a flight!
The kids are all ages, but I'll be mainly teaching o levels, which is about 15 or 16 year olds. I love younger kids, but I think teenagers can be fun too.
yeah, leaving homelannd....I'll miss New Zealand for sure, but most of my friends are overseas now, and I really feel it's time to get out, and have adventures, and live life a bit. It's about time I expanded my visions. Also, I've been feeling pretty trapped lately, so it's a bit of an escape too.
And if it suck, hey, I can always move on. Or go home
Love Cassienne
