| Not much there. Small place. Good place to save. You will have to be able to entertain yourself. Books ? TV ? Close to border with you-know-where. |

There are othe threads about HBCC. Some are not so complimentary. What I hear is that it is an okay place to work. Certainly better than some of those private-sector language schools.

I worked there in the past. It was cool.
I have made some comments on the place in other threads, going back maybe two years. Do a search.
I liked HBCC...money not too bad (before dollar crashed), accom passable, pleasant atmosphere, lovely students, great hols, respect from admin, general peace of mind. |

As I write this, planeloads of new instructors are being given their final instructions before being parachuted into HBCC for mid-August and the new academic year. They will be armed with NEW copies of a course sold by OUP to replace the home-produced material that was used for years. Ah no more the texts on the T-34 tank. ("Teacher what tank ? This game ?") Or the merits of Adidas and Nike.
I wonder if the incidence of "Le cafard" is less and if the gallant captain still commands his men in the struggle against the Moors.
