His name is Blaine Ray. We ran into him in Manila when we were there with Andy and Amanda for a conference. Imagine our surprise when we were walking down the hall in the Shangrila and there he was. It is indeed a very, very small world. Hope and D are well. I here she was taking care of Maddie and Amelia while a/a were in Thailand.

Having attended the Learn2.008 conference, I am quite certain that International schools are a wonderful place to be in and just wish that I was younger and could take up those opportunities. Learning the language of that country and immersing in its culture, I would think would be essential for full appreciation of the experience. Good on you for learning the languages and glad that there are methods that will succeed quickly. How fortunate you are to be able to work and teach in different countries.
