Last blog entry! So I'm currently in Chiang Mai airport waiting to fly to Bangkok for a quick overnight stay before the final flight home! And thought with the time I have spare I will do my final blog entry to finish the travelling tale. Starting with Laos. Such a beautiful country, more rural and less Westernised in comparison to Cambodia and Vietnam with beautiful countryside and mountains. After leaving Vietnam we had a horrible 12 hour coach journey across...

Hello all! I have now arrived in the country of Laos so thought I would do my update of times in Vietnam. I have joined a tour group through Vietnam and Laos which has made life incredibly easy for me - all accommodation and transport is arranged so all I do is decide what to do with my days!

In my final week of teaching we were allowed to organise a party for the last lesson on Friday - a chall...

Teaching to start with is going well, the students are as keen and enthusiatic as ever. One of my classes is planning o...

The teaching is going well - the students shyness has disappeared and now the classroom is filled with lots of chatter and banter amongst each other! It is actually difficult to keep them quiet most of the time! All the students are really lovely actually and I enjoy teaching...
