>English corners: 99% laowai-free

I went to the English Corner last night.

It was my third time. To give you an idea of how much I enjoy the experience, this was the third time I’ve come. In nine months. Twice in October.

Once in May.

Three of us came, up from the usual one. When I arrived, Mary, one of the student organizers, noted this fact.

“None of the foreign teachers want to come. We don’t know why.”

Let’s see…you hold it on Friday night on a campus far away on the outskirts of the city, a bus that doesn’t return until 10 at night.

And you wonder why no foreign teachers are coming? Really?

Besides, I haven’t even begun to mention the spiritual anguish that is an English Corner. That’s coming next.
