 |
|
I'm just curious where everyone comes from and where they've been.
2 mins survey!
- What country are you from?
- What country are you teaching in?
- How long have you taught there?
- What do you teach (subject teacher, language teacher etc...)?
- Top 2 or 3 things you love about your new home.
- Top 2 or 3 things you miss from you home country.
Can't wait for some interesting replies!
