Week of 9/3 (First Days of Schools)
I don't know if this is going to be a series, like a weekly thing from my last teaching position, or just something that I write when I have the chance. I do know that if my first week was any indication of how it will be for the future, then I'm always going to … Continue reading Week of 9/3 (First Days of Schools)
Danube Discoveries: Day 6 (Along Lower Austria)

Danube Discoveries: Day 2 (Passing through Prague)
I'm going to point out now, that most of these posts will be backdated, due to the fact that there is spotty wireless service everywhere. I am doing my best in trying to update about my travels more and more often. Just know that I will write as much as I can, and that I … Continue reading Danube Discoveries: Day 2 (Passing through Prague)
Danube Discoveries: Day 1 (Getting to Vienna)
After a pretty lackluster night's sleep at the Best Western, I hung out at the hotel till around 12:30 before checking out and heading to the airport.

It felt small as compared to other US international airports that I had been … Continue reading Danube Discoveries: Day 1 (Getting to Vienna)
