It may be enough, but a short TEFL course always helps; especially since teaching English to Chinese students is a bit different to teaching PE to secondary students.

I'll double check when I meet the new boss.

Just got emailed a letter of offer from Cumulus!

Well done mate. Really happy to hear that. Seize the bugger with both hands.

I've got a passable burrito in my belly and Gravity on my screen. Community returns in less than a month and I've got two days of video gaming, writing, sleeping, and A-League ahead of me.

Life is something approaching good right about now.

I woke up to air raid sirens today.

Today marks the anniversary of the Nanking Massacre, in which Japanese troops occupied Nanjing and systematically raped, hunted down, and murdered more than 300,000 Nanjing residents.

To this day the Japanese government disputes the numbers and the extent of their atrocities in Nanjing, much as they deny their role in similar behavior in South Korea.

The Germans get a justifiably bad wrap for their actions during World War II, but Japan's brutal treatment of the peoples of the Asian nations they forcibly occupied should not be overlooked either. Only their closeness with the US has allowed the true depths of their depravity go largely unnoticed in the western world.

Probably where Hitler got a few of his ideas. Utterly soul destroying what the Japs did that day. No wonder the Chinese still hate them.

anyone who doubts how horrible they really were should watch the men behind the sun

The Koreans do too. I have no issue with modern day Japan and think it's a wonderful country. I've never met a Japanese person who I found anything less than genuine and friendly.

But the difference between historic perceptions of the Germans and the Japanese came down to which nation the US decided got to be their friend.

anyone who doubts how horrible they really were should watch the men behind the sun

I haven't seen that one. Will track it down.

I just realized that this forum is presently a woman free zone as far as I'm aware. Between Dani's self-imposed exile, Cliffhanger taking her bat & ball and going home, and sportive cupid finding easier targets in the political forum; there's certainly an abundance of machismo in here.

Oh, wait, Alba is still here! Yay!!!
