November 2nd, 2009 Better Plans for Thailand
It was only a few days ago that I saw my friend Mark in Bangkok. He mentioned that I should maybe do make some money working for the Australian Army Reserve. I’ve since looked into it and what I’ve found so far is I have about a month work booked with the Reserve starting in January and some work booked in Canberra Grammar, that will be white water kayaking during February and in March. Later, I’m hoping to book a few more months and work in Australia from April to mid May. Then come back to Thailand. I’m pretty sure that by then, I will have saved enough money to pay for an entire year of living in Thailand. Mark was staying at one of the Thailand luxury hotels, I really enjoyed visiting him there. His accommodations were really very nice.
I’m hoping to book work each year and save money to pay off some debts. My plan should give me a lot more free time to get in shape and to explore more of Thailand, plus do all the other things I would like to do also. So far, my new plan seems very doable.
I informed my agency that I will be leaving soon, and they told me they already had another teacher waiting to take my place. So, things will be happening faster than I thought! Last week, which was my last week in the Bilingual school, a very good job by-the-way, but my new plan seemed so much better, the school’s administration and my own teaching schedule was finally getting more organized. Especially on my very last day! I said goodbye to all the children and their parents and said goodbye to some teachers with who I’ve made good friendships with. I was stunned about all the cards and gifts I received, which made me wonder if my new plan was worth it, that doubt only lasted a minute! When I get back to Thailand, I’m definitely going to stop by and see all of them again.
