Teacher in Mexico: A Bigger Family
http://teacherinmexico.blogspot.com/2011/10/bigger-family.html
Just a blog from me, teaching English and instructing teachers in a TEFL course, in Mexico city. Thursday, October 20, 2011. Our son Felix Joshua Courchesne Dixie was born at 9 AM October 17th, 2011, coming in at 8 pounds (3.75 kg), just two days before his due date. Another Mexican Canadian as I work on my hockey team. We had our first night home from the hospital last night and as can be expected with a newborn, no one got any sleep. I'd forgotten about the sleepless first night with a newborn.

Teacher in Mexico: December 2010
http://teacherinmexico.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Just a blog from me, teaching English and instructing teachers in a TEFL course, in Mexico city. Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Mexico City and teaching here once inspired me to go on a Haiku binge.here is some of the stuff that came out of me. I am sorry to inflict this upon you, dear reader! From the streets of Mexico City. Body armor itches, it seems. Wanting to go home. Frantic knuckles and fingers. Sitting on the bench. Hunched, wrinkled old old man. Checks an ancient watch. Dust and grey concrete.

Semana Santa - Easter week break, the second most important holiday period in Mexico after Christmas. For many, that means a week (or two) of fun in the sun. 22 million strong Mexico City practically empties out as Chilangos head to the beach. Thursday, April 7, 2011.

Just a blog from me, teaching English and instructing teachers in a TEFL course, in Mexico city. Saturday, October 22, 2011. Alebrije Parade Mexico City. Went to the 5th annual Alebrije Parade from the Zocalo to the Angel of Independence today, put on by the Museo de Arte Popular. This is one of my favorite events in the city and my daughter now 2 years 4 months old is starting to appreciate it too. She was a little too young for the previous two parades. Some of my favorites.

Just a blog from me, teaching English and instructing teachers in a TEFL course, in Mexico city. Wednesday, September 7, 2011. The TEFL Job Interview - Latin America. Here is an article I had published some years back, about the typical job interview you can expect when coming out of a CELTA or TEFL course and looking for that first job in Latin America. Well you're all done. So what’s next? There's still a job interview? What will they ask me? Do I have to talk in Spanish? Don't sweat it. It's proba...

Teacher in Mexico: What's with the price of avocado?
http://teacherinmexico.blogspot.com/2011/09/whats-with-price-of-avocado.html
Just a blog from me, teaching English and instructing teachers in a TEFL course, in Mexico city. Sunday, September 11, 2011. What's with the price of avocado? Ridiculous. 80 pesos a kilo.80 PESOS! I think it's cheaper to get avocado now in Canada where it of course does not grow in the 11 month long permafrost. According to the BBC anyway. In a country that takes its food seriously, this was a recipe for disaster. In Mexico - where 40% of the world's avocado crop is grown - this fruit is sacrosanct. ...

Just a blog from me, teaching English and instructing teachers in a TEFL course, in Mexico city. Thursday, February 24, 2011. Oh how we love mango season here in Mexico. There is a good variety of mango that grows here, but the juiciest, tastiest, mango-juice-running-down-your-elbow mango is the Mango Manila, pictured below. The paraiso mango. I don't find them nearly as juicy. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. The 100 favourite fictional characters. Chosen by Terry Pratchett (the Discworld series). Harry Fl...
