So, a new teaching job.  no complaints so far.

The big news here at the moment is John Mark Carr, the 'beauty queen killer', who was arrested in his apartment in sathorn (down the road from mine) on wednesday.  He was teaching grade 1 at my school for a couple of months from april, but was fired because he scared the kids.

So today the school's been crawling with reporters, whom we're not allowed to talk to.  The school, and the Ministry of Education, are trying to cover up the fact that he worked in Thailand, for fear of implying they don't do proper background checks, or that Thai schools are a welcoming haven for murderers.   

Strange way to start.  Anyway it's Friday afternoon and I'm about to go for a beer.
