Itchy Feet Syndrome Strikes Again

Or perhaps I've just been bitten by the insidious travel bug. Either way, subject to my blood tests etc etc being good, ie, not dying of anything more serious than life, I am off to South Korea in January.
I must say I am looking forward to it in many ways. Actually I am going out of financial necessity; because teaching ESL in Brisbane is more like a subsidized volunteer effort.

I love teaching my students but I am not getting any younger - 57 next January - don't have any Super to speak of and just cleaned out my savings doing and extension at home.

So it's Hi Ho Hi Ho off to Jeju I go once again. The upside is that I have decided to finish my Masters. Can't re-enrol straight away because the cost per unit at QUT is absolutely overpriced. I will have to work for at least 6 months to get some money together to continue. However, that doesn't stop me commencing my research... :)

Well must go, I am assisting my brother with his website... This will complete his Masters... diligent little fellow... of course he's not paying up front so there you go.

A Song of Commitment

Take the time to spend with Jesus ,
Take the time in every day ,
Spend it with your Saviour ,
He will help you on your way .


Don`t you tarry at Jerusalem ,
Wailing at the wall ,
Spend it with your Saviour ,
He will hear you when you call.


Oh you Ladies don`t be Martha ,
Very busy in every way ,
Just too busy for your Saviour ,
Repent and turn to Him today .

Hello..
How are you? I 've got your email.. but I couldn't reply as soon as I should do.
This is because I am not in Jeju..
You might be surprised where I am now. I am in Sydney at this moment. Actually, I came to AUS on the beginning of Jaunary for an Intensive English course for Jeju Elementary school teachers, so I am taking the course designed only for me and our co-workers.
It was lucky to come here again, being supported by the Minstry of Education.
The other day I rang you up,, but no response..
Anyway I hope everything is going well with you.. and I can meet you in my hometown, Jeju.
I am late for class.. so I will email you later again.
