I'm torn. As if I didn't have enough decisions to make: courses vs jobs, I've now been put in contact with someone who can help me find a teaching position in Thailand. Yes I do realise there are plenty of companies that do all that, but that's part of the problem. I don't know which ones are reputable. But I've got a whole lot of decisions to make now. The temptation to just up and go is SO strong! I loved Thailand, the people, the culture, the food! I found myself at home there and experienced some real peace of mind.
As you can tell my heart says go, but unfortunately I do live in the real world some of the time and I guess I need to think about more practical things such as a career. It's going to be hard enough getting into the charity sector can I really afford to postphone it by a year, or more, when it might well be even harder?
Not all big stresses though. All my waffling on about ethical living got through to one of my uni mates which kinda made my day, yes I do realise I have no life. I don't know what percentage that would work out to though when you compared it to the number of people I have waffled on to! But still. I'm also in talks to get a display put up on Darfur at my local museum, so long as the director says it's ok. So I'm not feeling my efforts recently have been in vain, yet.
