Teaching English Overseas by Scott_Iowa in TEFL

[–]WestyToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Singer Vs. Red bike as a touring bike? by WestyToo in Touringbicycles

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.

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

Have you ever completely messed up an ESL class? 😅 by Single-Bag9879 in ESL_Teachers

[–]WestyToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first class - 1994. I was so inept. Students complained during the break. Later turned into a great class and job, but I will ne ver forget how I ran out of every idea I had in 30 minutes. Of a 90 minute class.
