Day-to-day life in Myanmar
Well, I've been quoted rates anywhere between 2,000 - 5,000 kyat/1 dollar. I'm not actually exchanging USD into kyat anyway - I do a mental conversion just to get a feel for the cost 🙂 I also got interrupted with my previous post - I had to teach a couple of science lessons 'online' for students in Hong Kong and mainland China. On the subject of teaching, it's often commented on this forum that most teachers in Thailand/south-east Asia are a bunch of drunken TEFLers, earning a pittance to stay in the country so that they can either satisfy their alcohol or sexual needs! Now I'm not actually a teacher, in that I never studied for an education degree or post-graduate diploma. That situation should maybe relegate me to the TEFLer garbage can! However, I am a very well-qualified and hands-on scientist, and this knowledge, together with my impeccable Oxford accent (!), coupled with my British eccentricity has made me very popular with young students. I do have various pedagogical certificates (phonics, speech therapy etc). Anyway, one plus point about teaching science online is that it is better-paid than teaching general English. So my online classes and in-class teaching brings in about $4,000 a month, tax -free. In 7 months, add another $1,000 to that income when my UK state pension starts 🙂 I walked up Mandalay Hill again today and took a photo from near the top. The city of Mandalay stretches away to the Irrawaddy river that you can just see in front of the hills. Over those hills and you're into the region of violence in Sagaing 😞 -
