Top 5 From Cities I've TEFL-ed In
At the end of a school year, a co-worker of mine sent out an email with her personal Top 10 of the city we’d all been working in. I’ve been around the block a few times as far as Eastern European cities go, so I won’t commit to a full Top 10, but here are my Top 5 from the cities I’ve worked in. Choose your own Top 5 or 10 and either post them as comments here or post them on your blog with a link! [Update: I’ve pilfered these from TEFLtastic: http://www.tefl.net/alexcase/archives/307]

Gdog At The Daily Kimchi Eats Live Octopus, Fulfilling His Promise To The TEFL Logue
I recently took a few days off posting and in that time found something very exciting in the “incoming links” section of the TEFL Logue: a celebratory post at the Daily Kimchi about EFL blogger Gdog eating live baby octopus.
More intrepid readers will recall that after Gdog mentioned how much he would like to try eating live octopus on his own blog, I asked him to keep the TEFL Logue updated on this, and to provide an exclusive of sorts when he chowed down.
Here it is: no one has ever dedicated the experience of eating live octopus to me or the TEFL Logue, so I think that’s pretty neat!
Yikes!

Spotlight On Section: Table of Contents
If you’re interested in a particular country, look for a post on it here. Also find links to some regional overviews.
As much as I’d like to be an expert on every country in the world (and, okay, sometimes I pretend I am…), in fact I’m not. What I present in the “Spotlight On…” posts includes my general knowledge about that country, somewhat more specific ideas I’ve gathered either from personal experience, different forms of media, or the web, and links to sites which I think a potential EFL teacher would be …

Best Of: A Retrospective Look At The TEFL Logue
It’s a new month and time for a look back at the TEFL Logue’s short history. The TEFL Logue has been in action since August 25, 2006 and, not including this post, there have been 423 posts, all but a few of them by yours truly.
While I didn’t make my New Year’s Resolution to make four TEFL Logue posts a day for the month of January, that’s still a lot of posts! And I thought, at a time like this, what better to do than pat myself on the back by sitting as the judge on the committee designated to pick out the best of all time TEFL Logue posts in several categories.

The Ultimate TEFL Blog List
I’m a firm believer that the best way to find out if something is for you is to walk a mile, or 1.6 kilometers, in the shoes of someone already doing that. So, of course, if you want to know if teaching is for you, take a tour of some TEFL blogs.
Find reviews of some of the blogs I follow in the TEFL Logue Review section, and for additional regional-specific blogs, have a look at the links section of the Daily Kimchi (Korea) and Cairogal’s blog (several of the harder-to-find Middle East teacher blogs)

Table Of Contents: Grammarman Resources
In case you hadn’t noticed, I think Grammarmancomic.com is an excellent resource; it features a number of innovative and motivating games and activities as well as links to other comics sites.
As there is no Grammarman category at the TEFL Logue just yet, here is a table of contents of Grammar posts:
