In the lavatories, there are signs on all the walls — translated into 15 languages, from Polish to Arabic — that say:
“Please do not throw dirty toilet paper on the floor.”
Lovely. Tomorrow is my last day there. I’m movin’ on up to the university. It’s been quite an experience teaching at the language school every single day, in a cramped building on Oxford Street, with dirty toilets (ahem) and no air con — which means I get to teach in a steambath of a classroom with lots of smelly teenage boys. Today I didn’t have any water to drink and taught for three hours straight. And right in the middle of a vocab lesson I almost fainted. No joke. It’s sorta like the educational equivalent of a sweatshop. But I still had fun.
Today I just had to take a few photos. The students make signs with tips for each other and hang them up all over the school. Click below to see two from my classroom.
