Cairns life. Life in Cairns is easy. There is great nightlife, good people, sun, sea, not too much sand but you can always hop on a bus to the nearest beach. I have really enjoyed my time here but as it gets closer to being in australia for 3 months it is time to think about moving. When I came here I decided that I wanted to move every 3 months so that I really do get to see alot. I have not saved nearly as much money as I should have done so not travelling to...

Me being stupidly lucky got an email back from the 30 odd that I sent asking me to come in and meet them. That was it, job found on the second day.

There was no school all week due to exams and grading so I got to spend the days doing anything I wanted including colouring my hair, shopping, drinking and swimming. During the week I realise...

In my mission to save money for Australia I have generally been working 6 days a week leaving pretty much dead on sunday so have just slept. The weekend of the 18th August I attended an English competition in Khorat with some of my prathom 6 students (12 years old). I have been practicing with these st...
