Teaching ESL in Saudi Arabia: Your free time in KSA

Ace here, 5 year expat, published author and ESL teacher. I get a lot of questions on my you tube channel about teaching ESL in Saudi Arabia. Check my video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuLV70LIasU A lot of people ask "What did you do on your free time?". With all the cultural restrictions this is a good question. Well...there's not a lot to do as you can imagine. I made some good friends while there, so usually we would just hang out in our rooms together or go to the mall to get a coffee or maybe get some food. When we were in Riyadh there were some pretty nice shopping malls and places to eat, so we would go there sometimes. Some westerns restaurants in Riyadh were Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut, Chillies and Mcdonalds and that's just to name a few. Oh and there was Star Bucks which was a favorite of mine. Taxis in Saudi are super cheap so getting around was really easy. There was western grocery store called Carfour that we would frequent as well. There was a bookstore in Riyadh that sold English books, so we would go there a lot to. Living in Riyadh did have a lot of perks. As you can see Teaching ESL in Saudi Arabia took a lot of ajusting to, but it wasn't all bad!

Teching ESL in Asia: LEARN FROM MY PAIN!

Hello guys, I hope your doing well. As for me I'm looking forward to teaching ESL in Japan. Which will be my 5th and possibly final country for me. I haven't lived in the same place for more than 2 years since 2008, so I'm kind of ready to make a home somewhere. Teaching ESL in Asia and being a nomad has a lot of benifits, you get to experience so many new and interesting things. However, along the way there will be quite a few challenges. That's why I wrote this e-book so people would learn from my pain and live the ESL teaching lifestyle they want. I would do it again in a heartbeat. It's one of the greatest things I've done with my life. So back to Japan. I'm really looking forward to teaching ESL in Tokyo. I took an art history class at my university and ever since I knew I would live in Japan. The number one thing I've learned from my ESL teaching adventures is this: Try best to design your life. Figure out where you want to live and design your life around this area. FInd a job and apartment as close as possible to the places you hang on the weekends. This will cut back on commuting time and enhance your quality of life. It's common sense but its not something people think about. http://www.youtube.com/user/airport573 https://twitter.com/acewall73 http://www.patreon.com/acewall Teaching ESL in Asia Ebook http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Guide-Teaching-Thailand-Taiwan-ebook/dp/B00R1Y6WZU/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418884278&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=the+quick+guide+to+teacyhing+esl

Teaching ESL in Japan!

WE gotta big snow day here in Korea. About an a foot and no sign of quitting yet! But snow isn't what's on my mind. What's on my mind is my next destination...Japan! Right now I'm search for a job in Tokyo. I've got a few good leads on jobs. If I can't find anything while overseas. I'll just go there and find a job, which is what most people do. So of course I'm excited as I've always wanted to live in Japan. This will be my 5th country that I have taught English in. I'll keep you guys posted on the ESL teaching job scene in Japan. The good news about Japan is there has been a rise in ESL teaching jobs there because of the olympics that will be held there in 2018. Cheers.

Do expats have to file taxes?

Snowy saturday here in Korea. And I'm answering some questions concerning taxes while teaching ESL in Saudi Arabia. Thanks for watching. Ace

Life update: 12/13/14

What's up guys? It's a snowy Saturday afternoon here in Korea. Well, it looks like I'll be leaving Korea pretty soon. I pretty happy to be leaving, not that my job has been bad or anything. You see I'm a city man, don't get me wrong I love a good hike once in a while and being out in the country does have its advantages. But man living out here for a year has made me realize one thing, “I'm a city man 100%.” If you teaching ESL in a city then you know there's all kinds of stuff to do. Yoga, kick boxing, dance classes, movie theaters, shopping, bowling, the list goes on. But in the country? Man you ain't got much. As a result you end up spending a lot of time commuting to the nearest city for your basic entertainment and leisure time needs. So what is it I'm getting at here? Before take that job in the country, give it some real thought. A crappy school in the city is way better than 500 hours on a bus. You can always go hiking as hiking is never far from an city in Korea. I hear a lot of ESL teachers in Korea and other countries I've been to complain about their school being to far from the city. So do yourself a favor and do whatever you have to to get a job in a big city. Cheers, And be sure to check me out of twitter and youtube.
