17-01-2018 Wednesday was very much a day of two halves. On one hand, I had Thanh Liệt, a school that was not all that modern and noisy as fuck but had a strong TA in the form of Hien. On the other, Co Nhue 2B, a school with great banter between myself, Niamh, Mia andContinue reading “Wednesday teaching in Thanh Liệt”

5 First places checked out in Trung Hoa
I may be writing about the first week of public school teaching in Hanoi, but I thought this deserved addressing before continuing with more articles on schools. The fact of the matter is that most of the internship’s down time during the day was spent chilling out in cafes, restaurants, or the famed Bia Hoi’sContinue reading “5 First places checked out in Trung Hoa”
Tuesday Teaching in Cự Khối
16-01-2018 Vietnam is not a country where I thought much about eating breakfast.In Ireland I would have had a bowl of porridge, some toast with peanut butter or if there was time I would fry some eggs and have orange juice. It was needed for the hour long cycle from my house to work, andContinue reading “Tuesday Teaching in Cự Khối”
The first day teaching
15-01-2018 Prior to this internship all of my worklife had been bad to mediocre; retail, dole, retail, 2 weeks of work experience in a job I actually liked, office admin for a better than minimum wage but still not earning enough to live on a salary that you can settle down with, and that wasContinue reading “The first day teaching”
The move to Trung Hoa
13-01-2018->15-01-2018 After writing an extensive amount on the CWD, school observations and attractions in Hanoi I felt like I needed to get to the main setting of my Vietnam internship: Trung Hoa, an area 15 minutes southwest of the city center in the Cau Giay district of Hanoi. There were a few other notable incidentsContinue reading “The move to Trung Hoa”
The school visit
12-01-2018 Our time at the CWD had come to an end, but I must mention a trip to one of Hanoi’s many public schools that happened before the karaoke night; A sizeable group of us got on a bus from the CWD and headed to one of the public schools in the city. It wasContinue reading “The school visit”
The final days in the CWD
This is the first post not taken directly from the book, as it turned out I didn’t write much about the experience in the CWD after the tour. The buildup of teacher training and (lets be real here) plenty of hungover experiences contributed to not physically writing much. However, plenty of photos were taken andContinue reading “The final days in the CWD”
5 Places to check out in Ha Noi
If you read the last post, you will know I did a city tour of Hanoi with a large group of teaching interns and while interesting, there was not much written about the various places I had visited that day. Over the following 2 years in Vietnam I visited these places a few more times,Continue reading “5 Places to check out in Ha Noi”
From the book #4: The CWD and Beer Street
8-1-2018Beer street cans, city tours and intro class I keep trying to edit a vlog that I started in the Dragon Airport Hotel, but time has been surprisingly short. Even taking time to use the trim tool in shotcut has been “cut short”. Still, Jack has been sound enough as a roommate, letting me haveContinue reading “From the book #4: The CWD and Beer Street”

07-01-2018“You go through all these hoops and…you end up with this”-Jonathan, Pointing at Bún chả. Socialising got off to a good start.
