Look at all of us international travellers XD
Mostly I'm bingewatching stupid teenage romance films on Netflix right now to get me through all the editing and stuff I need to do XD Exciting things have been happening as well so it's not all bad. One thing is, I got accepted to teach English to Chinese adults over the internet, so I'll start doing that from next week for a bit of extra money.

Hahaha, yeah, we seem to be travelling all at the same time :D
Oh, that does sound exciting! How are you teaching them? Is it some kind of videochat classroom situation or is it more in written form?
You'll have to tell us how you like it :)

Yes, it's a video class! It seems like it will be pretty fun because all the lesson plans are already provided and there's nothing too formal about it. I just get to chat to new people and help correct their English from time to time!

@Julez: I thought I told you the dates, but i guess it must've been some place else XD we messed up on many levels but it's nice anyways. We'll probably make a summary when we get home and see just how much we've overpaid for stuff
@Chriz: i was still in Prague on thursday! XD had a bus to Vienna late at night.
@jacob: teaching english like that sounds exciting and pretty easy, tell us more later on :D

Oh wow indeed, everyone is travelling! Rome feels like ages ago, but it has been 3 weeks ago.. :o
I am glad you liked Prague! I've been there last year and I loved it as well! But we actually thought Thursday - Sunday was enough :) Although we did not explore the other side of the river that thoroughly.
Enjoy the rest of your trip, mem!
jacob, that sounds pretty exciting!
I hope you will manage, you are doing so much other stuff already

I know the idea is that if I have this job in place, and especially if I manage to secure a slight payrise which can happen after your first 20 classes, then maybe I don't have to take on other things as well. I had a big client go out of my schedule and since then I have been filling the space with smaller clients who need less work and don't pay as well, so it's been a scramble. If I have guaranteed income I might be able to stop doing that, and just get through this little period while the magazine is taking off before we hit profits.
Which might not be too long if we're lucky, because yesterday I was talking with someone about the possibility to distribute on a much bigger scale across London :3

Ohhh, that sounds good jacob! I'm holding my thumbs for you that it'll work out like that :)
Oh really, mem? Then we actually were in the same city for a few hours :D I arrived on Thursday afternoon :D
And yes, do enjoy the rest of your trip!
We spent Friday on one side of the river and Saturday on the other, mainly looking at the castle. And then we went to a concert in the evening, so we had to head back and change at some point in the afternoon. On Sunday morning we did some stuff that was planned already for Friday but that we didn't have enough time for at first. So we would still have had everything on the castle side of the river apart from the castle itself left to explore.
I got the last of my grades for this semester just now and I actually passed everything and I even got a good grade in a lecture that I would never have expected to be good in :)

That's good news Chrizine! And how crazy, that you were in the same place for a moment :D
Holding my thumbs is a nice expression XD I passed my induction this morning so just got to complete my profile now and I can start~
By the way, there is a reward if I refer teachers, so I will definitely be testing it out to see if it's worth referring anyone who wants to try it :D
