Decision Time

Hello. Well most of you will know by now about our decision to come back to the snowy UK for a short while. There were a few days of angonising over this. I know that I don't especially want to teach in Thailand. It doesn't suit me. I also know that I really want to keep teaching and we both really want to keep travelling. So in that vain we are applying to various jobs in Spain, Italy and Japan. You will have seen if you've been following this that we have had a brilliant adventure. After Bang Niang we struggled to resettle in Phuket. Suddenly we're tourists/foreigners again. In Bang Niang we were part of a Thai family and had many Thai friends. It was hard to readjust. When I experienced the laid back style of teaching and spoke to other teachers we decided it wasn't for us. As we would need to renew our visas to stay and we already have a flight to get home we decided on the latter.We can apply for other jobs as well from Somerset as here.
It's very exciting to think of seeing family and friends again so soon. It's also exciting to plan our next adventure.
So as we sat in our favourite coffee bar where I have discovered fresh lemon juice and soda drinks talking and talking over our options a parade began to pass by. There were various marching bands in different glorious uniforms, school children dressed up or in uniform, adults in traditional and non-traditional costumes. It went on for about 2 hours. The women were wearing huge stillettos and it was so hot that day.

Love, Jo xxx
