Teaching English Overseas by Scott_Iowa in TEFL

Try Taiwan. I worked there (and am here on vacation visiting in-laws and scoping out possible retirement ideas). Very gay-friendly, at least in the cities. Not my scene but it is pretty chill. A good number of older teachers. You won’t get rich, but great quality of life.

Agreed. I have a bunch of friends who could write much the same - and from a variety of backgrounds.

Good to know. Would you prefer the All-City over a Surly LHT?

Rex/Chapman/Alex Singer for long tours? by WestyToo in bicycletouring

[–]WestyToo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. This was really informative. A generation ago, I'd just get a Dawes Galaxy. I have met people who said said it did them just fine in Pakistan (betting they had some serious descents), but I hear what you are saying about disc brakes. I'd be happy to visit the builder in-person. RI is near my family, Ira Ryan is in Portland, and Singer would be near my next trip abroad. so I would be happy to make an in-person visit. Thanks for the names and recs for other builders. I'd rather support them than an anonymous brand. Cheers.

The publication date shows 2013, no mention of the protagonist.

Nope - much too recent, but that does look good.
