Sorry to change the subject slightly
I just came back from Madrid. The interviews went very well, I need to do an exam to prove that my English is good enough, but apart from that, it all went well.

Just a little problem, the job they offered me is for Madrid, the one for Mark in Chile. We told them we don't mind moving anywhere, but together, so they're going to think about it and let us know.

So, lovely weekend, meeting friends I hadn't seen in years. Very upset with the stupid woman who offered her house, insisted we should stay there and not at a hotel, and then forgot; went to spend the weekend somewhere else and let us know at 7:30pm that we didn't have a place to sleep.

Everywhere in Madrid was booked (Shakira gig; centenary of El Prado with free entrance; Goya exposition...) we got a hostel thanks to a no show from a couple. Just 36€/night in the crappiest place in the world, and extra 1.30€/shower. Unbelievable. If you ever go to Madrid, don't stay at Hostal Sirenas.

Glad to hear that interviews went well.
I can't imagine you'll have a problem with the English exam!

I hope so :)
I don't even know where I have to do it. I need to find out.

This is why I hate relying on people
they always let you down. My brother is very good at doing this.

I haven't seen that ad

You do, a bit, she could be your older sister.

I don't think so. I think Labia is right.

Really glad the interviews went well!
Hope you and Mark can get great jobs together, preferably in the UK!
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 10:33, Reply)

The UK is sorted
in the worst case, I have a job in London already. It'll be sad to go, but on the other hand, if we don't try something like South America now, we'll never do it.

A guy I know has just finished teaching History at an international school in El Salvador, and he's just moved to Brazil to continue doing the same.
Said it's the best thing he's ever done and he's never coming back. I'd love to do it someday. So go for it!

Yes
We only need the job to be offered to us... They need to find something for the two of us, and I need to prove I can speak English.
