LinKS

We're all connected, man, everything is one. . . or so it was revealed to me during an acid trip in 1992.  Maybe, maybe not.  Anyway, here are some links to some sites related to teaching English and living abroad, with a minimum of advertiser-driven bullshit.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE LINKS DO NOT IMPLY ANY CONNECTION WITH ENGLISH TEACHER X, OR ANY APPROVAL OF HIS COMMENTS, OPINIONS OR LIFESTYLE.

I'm very excited!  I've been negatively attacked on the Internet as being unqualified and immoral and disgusting -- by a young woman studying to be an ESL teacher.  Here's a link to her blog, ESL in TN -- I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun watching her get disillusioned with the business.

CHANCEDUGAN is a blog in which ENGLISH TEACHER G details some of his many and varied adventures teaching English in many places.

NOVALOVE is a website dedicated to the search for love among English teachers in Japan, and a nice slap at a certain chain language school.

CHASE ME LADIES, I'M IN THE CAVALRY is a very funny (and pithy -- look that word up) blog by a wants-to-be-former English teacher who has lived in some interesting places -- Colombia and The Gaza Strip, among others. 

ERNEST WHIRRLED is a blog by a guy who chucked his high-paying counseling job in America to work in the EFL profession in Bangkok, Thailand.  See it all go down in real time.  What's more, he witnessed the largest tsunami in history and survived to tell the tale.  Interesting stuff.

PRISONER OF WONDERLAND is a really good example of why most people shouldn't go abroad in the first place -- spoiled white female college student goes to Korea to teach for a few months and comes back emotionally scarred for life by having to work 6 days a week.   So unintentionally hilarious I at first though it was a joke, like the Blair Witch Project or the REAL NINJA PAGE

LEON'S EFLPLANET PAGE FOR MALE X-PATS ONLY has a considerable amount of advice about getting along with women from other countries, especially Asia.  There's a hell of a lot of other stuff on his main page, including, for example, information about terms for alcohol distillation.

STICKMAN'S GUIDE TO BANKGOK is an extremely extensive site about living and working in Thailand, by a guy who knows the place like the back of his pimp hand.

ENGLISH DROID is the revamped version of that old favorite website, "I HATE ENGLISH TEACHING".  Some funny stuff.  Check out the section on terminology.
