Daily Moan

[Mandaloopy]

It really depends, but mostly good to excellent. Quite a few kids of mine bosses, and they tend to be well traveled and mind blowingly wealthy families, some actual billionaires and a lot of millionaires. Then there are the kids of parents who own a business such as a restaurant, bar or hotel- much better behaved children, but they struggle to support them with their English.

Todays other moan is that the online grading is all in Mongolian- getting a headache from Cyrillic, which as been pleasantly easy to pick up compared to Thai/Myanmar- speaking Mongolian is a different matter.

Oh and last year Steven Segall sent his kid here- than man was apparently very strange but easy to get on with. His wife by all accounts was lovely, as was there well mannered son

[NamPikToot]

I- getting a headache from Cyrillic,

Yep, it happens - he's fukin picky intit

Where else are they going to learn to become lethal with laminate.

[OhOh]

Mongolian spies are only seconded by Maltese, so few speak the language.

Neighbor put up all of their flashing neon Xmas lights and decorations today - two months before Xmas. Flippers are nuts................

[Mandaloopy]

A two hour meeting on the virtues of teaching to test. I must have stumbled into a time machine this morning.

Ours went up last Sunday.

Clearly they're not alone.

[Mandaloopy]

Another "banned" holiday in Mongolia, hopefully there will be space for the advent calendar in the gulag 555

[OhOh]

"banned" holiday

Who banned it, the parents........?

[Mandaloopy]

^ The latest is that the government here is cracking down on non-Mongolian holidays. No idea why, the vast majority of Mongolians I have met are openly critical of the government

[Chittychangchang]

Walls pies give you indigestion, never again.

[Jack meoff]

SNP politicians are worse than rich Mongolian kids.

[Mandaloopy]

It would appear there are some drafts in my apartment here, which would explain the small of coal in the living room this morning. AQI of 265 today and it isn't even the evening when it gets really bad. Must by more masks today

[tomcat]

...^a little-known symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning is misspelling...

[Maanaam]

A not so poorly observation.

[Mandaloopy]

As are dizzy spells and shortness of breath- all a little worrying.
Having one of those moments where I am wondering if Mongolia is really worth the obvious damage to health. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I have had a cough in my life, respiratory problems are usually very rare for me.

I did have an observation in class last week, it wasn't poorly, it was greatly.

[Mandaloopy]

That also reminds me, I must get my flu jab next week- it can easily turn to pneumonia due to the shite air.

[Latindancer]

Shit a brick....after your (very) brief stint in China, it's out of the frying pan and into the fire.

In the very short term, the human body is very resilient. And longer than that, and I hope you have a beach place lined up at which to recover.

wHAT'S THE AIR-QUALITY IN THE cLASSROOM?

Opps ...

Is the air filtered?

[Mandaloopy]

Yeah, we have air filters in all classrooms. Doesn't really help when they open the window to cool the rooms down

[cisco999]

Cnuts that bring older infants/toddlers with them on long-haul international flights.

Agreed, should just live the little shits wherever they came from.
