https://backpackingteacher.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/maximons-altar
Travel, teaching and things in between. Saigon is the focus for now. Leave a comment ». A number of years back I was travelling through Guatemala and came across this church full of activity. It happened to be a church worshiping Maximon. A saint combining Catholic rituals that I recognised and Mayan rituals that I didn’t.

International Schools in Asia – salary survey | Backpacking Teacher
https://backpackingteacher.wordpress.com/2008/10/12/international-schools-in-asia-salary-survey
Travel, teaching and things in between. Saigon is the focus for now. International Schools in Asia – salary survey. I found this particular survey Dave’s ESL forums and thought it worthwhile to repost. The poster had this to say about the information. From what I can deduce the poster. Worked at a school in Ho Chi Minh City. I have posted the information exactly as I found it (except for a little reformatting) and cannot verify its authenticity. See lower down on this page for the table of salaries.

Tourigrinos, like a pack of locusts, descend, devour, declaim and then. Depart. I don’t have a problem with the whole busing around having. Someone else carry your pack for you. It’s more the incessant chatter. On the phone as you grind up the hill with your backpack on. It’s the. All the toilet paper just when you need the toliet paper. You get the.

And so we arrive in St Jean Pied de Port. 36 hours of so of travelling and we are walking zombies. Luckily we’d already booked ahead at L Esprit du Chemin a small albergue/Refugio (place only those people on the Camino can stay at). L Esprit may be small but it’s a legendary albergue for it’s warmth and hospitality. June 30, 2011 at 3:17 am. Tagged with camino frances.

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain is the ages old English elocution lesson. The rain in Spain stays mainly in Galicia (pronounced with a lisp, as in GaliTHia) doesn’t quiet have the same eloquence but it does adequately describe the day we had today. It was 4km further down the road😛. 8211; Posted from my phone. July 22, 2011 at 1:49 am.

Travel, teaching and things in between. Saigon is the focus for now. Day 14: Hontanas to Fromista. From there it was a sharp but shortish hike up the hill, over it and then we were on the mesetas. Almost two weeks in and we were walking at quite a pace with nary a squeak from our muscles which seem to have become attuned to the routine. 8212; Posted from my phone…. July 15, 2009 at 12:28 am.

What a tough grinding day our first day on the Camino was. The weather started out ok but rapidly turned to drizzle and then rain. Soon the wind began to pick up and we were freezing cold. Temperatures were just below 10C but with the wind chill factor actual temperatures must have been closer to zero. June 30, 2011 at 3:37 am. Day 2: Roncesval...
