That Was Fun
This is the aftermath of a games day I taught this morning.
Things I want to share. Mainly via my iPhone.
Hello, my name is Roger Gordon. This is my website. I'll put things I make with my iPhone here.
I'm from South Africa, and I teach English in Taichung City, Taiwan in order to study Chinese at a nearby University. I hope this website will help me to remember experiences and practice my Chinese.
您好，我的名字是高延清。這裡是我的網站。這裡要放用iPhone自己作的東西。我從南非來，在台灣的台中巿教英文並在附近的一間大學學中文。我希望藉由這個網站，能幫我紀錄所有的經驗，並且練習中文。

Never Again, Please!
Halfway through teaching my last English class of the week, on a Friday evening, the power went down. Unfortunately the classroom I was in had a combination of bright emergency lights, no emergency air conditioner and 22 whining heaters, each set to 37degrees C (also known as students). This meant that the class had to continue for over an hour, and by the time we finally finished, everyone was thoroughly pissed off from having sweated away 3kg of their body weight.
This made me wonder - how did people function in places like Taiwan before there was electricity? Did they just not move during the day, or was everything done outside?
In the photo - the Tai Power dudes who arrived to fix the problem, an hour after class had finished.

TEFL certifications in Johannesburg
For those of you Jo'burgers who may be interested in teaching English
overseas and wish to get qualified to do so, here are two good TEFL
(Teaching English as a Foreign Language) options for you.
1. The tough TESOL course at
Wits Language School
2. The even tougher CELTA certificate at International House, Johannesburg
My sister has completed option 1, and my mother option 2, and both
were very pleased with the quality of the courses.
