I should have posted this earlier but I have been very busy as of late. I am flying out this Friday morning to Hong Kong where I will be teaching a two week course for international students. I am looking forward to the trip for a couple reasons. First, I have never been to Hong Kong before so it will be another place I have visited. Second, a former coworker from a previous job lives on HK and I have already made plans to see him somewhere during the length of the visit.
Much like the Belgium trip I will not be blogging a blow by blow of the work part of the trip (which will indeed be the majority) but I will post the tidbits from outside the classroom.
I am curious as to how this one will play out. I am sure I have several Asian students but also at least one from the Middle East as the roster stated when last I checked. I wonder if the students will be able to speak and understand English well enough or if it will be a chore to get through each concept. It is not like I am teaching basic stuff that it is easy to get across with hand gestures and the like. Previous instructors have said that at least most of them can read English well enough for the class to get by. I guess I will just have to see.
The flight is going to be long enough that the company pays for business class so this will be my first foray outside of cattle class. I hope it doesn't spoil me too much.
