I Wanted Air-Con, Not Amoebic Dystentery

These are not my words but those of Jeff, former EFL teacher and author of Pigs In The Toilet, describing his outlook in Delhi, India. His preference for relative comfort distanced him from a majority of other travelers, who were ostensibly searching for a more “authentic” experience. I don’t think anyone wants [...]
Fringe Benefit of TEFL #5: Receiving Care Packages
By Katie | May 6th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
I won’t lie: when I get a package, I tear it open like there’s no tomorrow, and I don’t mind admitting that this may say something about my character or outlook. It’s fun to get stuff when you’re living far from home, and to know that someone picked things out with you in mind [...]
Are You On A TEFL Diet?
By Katie | April 13th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
On Pigs In The Toilet, the latest installment is about – as Jeff put it – regressing to eating western food while traveling in Tibet. I have to admit, my mouth started watering when he described a homemade hash brown that outsized his plate.
It struck me that this topic is relevant to EFL teachers [...]

TEFL Logue Review: The Daily Kimchi
By Katie | February 21st, 2007 | Add a Comment »
The Daily Kimchi was one of the first TEFL blogs I bookmarked, and I’ve enjoyed keeping up with it since. It’s maintained by Gdog, a techno savvy Canadian who has been teaching in Seoul, Korea, since September.
One of the things I like about the Daily Kimchi is that it’s funny and the posts (on [...]
TEFL Mystery #4: What The Hell Is Going On With Mexican Food Abroad?
By Katie | February 16th, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I will confess here that this post is not really about any mystery…it’s a thinly veiled attempt to present a topic that’s been on my mind as of late in a way that is not obviously a rant. When I noticed that Guy Courchesne posted about red hot chili peppers, it struck me: the time [...]
TEFL Mystery #1: Food Coupons
By Katie | January 18th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
Payday is always a happy day at the TEFL Logue! But something weird happened this past payday: I got an envelope with some coupons in it, for food. What’s that about?
Is the TEFL Logue receiveing food stamps? I don’t think so, at least I hope not.
At any rate, I can use [...]
How To Make The Most Of Your TEFL Time Abroad
By Katie | January 16th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
First of all, you have to know yourself and your priorities relatively well. This is of course, easier said than done: many people get involved in TEFL specifically to get to know themselves better – in that case, if you come away from it all feeling you have a better sense of yourself, than [...]
How I Spent My Winter Break
By Katie | January 3rd, 2007 | Add a Comment »
In tribute to the good old “How I spent my summer break”, here’s the TEFL Logue’s winter version.
As my readers may know: I went to Turkey! I am a big fan of traveling, and even more so traveling without detailed plans or a large budget. So, I made reservations in Istanbul for the [...]
Where There Is No McDonald’s: More TEFL Recipes
By Katie | December 16th, 2006 | Add a Comment »
I might have mentioned that I think one of the nicest things about living abroad is having the opportunity to sample and even learn to cook local cuisine. But let’s face it: when you’re immersed in another place 24-7, you have moments when you miss good ole comfort food from home. Maybe it’s a [...]
