There's always pounding loud sounds and music above my school. I thought it might be a bar, but my class is so early in the day. It seemed unlikely that people would already be drunk and wild.

Finally I went up to investigate. It turned out to be one of those churchs (Pentecostal?) whose members speak in toungues, fall on the floor, scream etc..Sometimes it sounds like furniture is being thrown. Freaky!

I once worked at a school above a sauna. It was great, except for the school part.
One of the posters here worked at a school next to a hog slaughter house.

My school is in Ecuador. Is that a strange location? Probably not, but it's interesting...

In Spain, I worked in a school that shared a building with a local political party. Lots of shouting...



Best,

My school in Italy had a beautiful lobby where several movies were filmed. I'm sure that they could have doubled my pay if they'd moved the school across the street to a less "prestigious" building.

DMB, if this teaching gig doesn't work how can I become a dodgy Anatolian peasant nationalist? I got 1 out of 4 so far.

Some old English Fast locations:

1. Next door to the minibus stop so the drivers used to eat and drink with the teachers and students in the Fast cafe.

2. Below a pyramid pots and pans outfit so lots of chanting sell more pots on Sundays.

3. Located half way up building materials supply shops so lots of leers for the women and some men teachers.

More dmb?

High school where I used to work was in the boonies of Sapporo, adjacent to a dairy farm. Nice fields for the kids to practice cross country skiing in winter, but in summer, the dung flies and smell of manure were sometimes quite overpowering. And, no, the kids didn't have the sense to close the screens on the windows.
