In the mountains, having an amazing time. Weather cold, food great, beer as good as ever. Being paid 4500 crowns for being here. (Bet you) wish you were here.
Teaching starting at 9am every day, so getting up at 6.50 so to have time to prepare. And 4 and a half hours per day too. But the students are great, everyone is on holiday and for the first time in my life I’m in a place where I can see proper winter sports style landscapes. Cold but beautiful.
The other teachers are pretty cool too, and I think I have mastered how to speak clearly to Czech students, even early in the morning. I just do an impression of them talking English (but try to use the proper grammar at the same time.)
I can see myself doing this a lot more. I am being paid to have a holiday, with great food too.
Sweet fucking as.
Will come back to this internet place and tell tales later.

Sounds cool.
I start an intensive stretch Tuesday-Friday from 8 each morning tomorrow.
Naturally they gave me the details about 10 minutes ago and I have to plan the week’s lessons tonight. With a hangover.
We are thinking of all moving out if we find a reasonable place. More of which later.
Have a good time

Yep, I’m drinking for two again…(until the weekends, that is.)
