Oh man, l was an English teacher in Taiwan for a few years during the pandemic. How are you liking it? The students l taught, especially the older students, didnt want to learn much.

Welcome to SN! Thx for spending time on my bio haha.
I have always been an English teacher all my working life. Based in Singapore, short stints in Japan n Laos. I don’t mind the wrestling with students part because I really like English. A month ago, my students told me that in their world, spill the tea means gossip. It’s just mind blowing to me language keeps evolving. Haha.
However, teaching is a profession that discourages deep work because we wear many hats and have to settle a lot of admin stuff. Guess I chose my poison.
I would love to teach in Taiwan one day because I’m Chinese. But I don’t think they would ever accept me as an English teacher haha.
Which part of Taiwan were you at? N what are you doing these days?
reply
I was in Taipei. I work in a processing plant now. I find it a lot easier working on machinery than listening to kids talk back in a illogical manner in broken English. Lol
reply
You intrigue me haha
Where r u originally from, if you don’t mind sharing? Why stay in Taipei instead of venturing elsewhere? Wages are low n costs of living r high.
I’m back in Singapore now. My life plan was to teach EL all over the world, but alas I fell in love n decided to get married hahaha
I worked as a PR executive for three months after Japan. Decided that I rather have power struggles with disrespectful students than face the laptop screen the entire day
your guess was awesome, quite a bit more creative than what I had in mind! A very good chance I incorporate your creativity later on in the story though... thank you~

Thank you for your interactive element and the sats! Would read part 7 soon to have another shot at your bounty haha

how are you able to keep your hat?
reply
Actually, before my current streak, my record was 8 days haha. I think one needs to zap others at least 100 sats per day in order to keep the hat. So, I have two rounds of zapping - once in the morning and another time in the evening - just to play safe. That way, I will definitely spend more than 100 sats. Posting every day helps. When I reply to people who leave a comment on my posts, it is easy for me to zap to keep my cowboy hat. Hope this helps!

Ohh man, I never keep track how much I zap!! This is news to me. thanks sensei
