Hi Matt,
Yes, I must say I did find this add to be a bit odd also. Why would they not say where it is? Probably because they are doing it without having their "teachers" get work visa's? I don't know. What I found kind of wierd was thier way of wording the program. Particularly "It is a relaxed atmosphere, but a strictly English one." What happens if a kid speaks chinese? Does he get punished? kind of sounds like it. If that was the case, I couldn't be involved. Can't see Beeeotch slapping a kid for speaking his native language. ;-) Anyway, a very interesting add none the less. Part of my brain is screaming, "Scam!!" though, I'm not sure why. It would be interesting to see if they reply to your e-mail.
As for the family, they are fine. April's wedding was nice, though I believe the grooms family to be a bit prejudiced. Also, I really don't think they liked it when I had the DJ take off the oldies stuff (nobody dancing) and put on my personalized cd's, beginning with AC/DC's "Thunderstuck" and put on my best Angus Young(?) imitation. Hehe. It did get the place jumping though. Within 20 minutes most everyone was dancing to my tunes. I spent the evening teaching the old folks how to "rock out" and Criselda made sure their drinks kept comming. :-) Worked out fine. We had a blast. So did April and her husband. The DJ was so happy he offered to smoke a joint with me, but I respecfuly declined. LOL!
As for flying, well I just fly for fun now. I have to save money for the Instrument and commercial ratings before I can get paid to fly. Should take me about a year. I will be doing all the rest of my training in twin engine aircraft at a school up the coast a bit. No more single engine putt-putts for me. I feel the need for speed! LOL! If your ever around Ft. Lauderdale, look me up. I'll give you a ride. So far I haven't found anyone who will fly with me. LOL! Every new pilot has this problem. :-)
Thanks for your interest,
Take Care,
Jay
