The Search Continues

Well the search for a legitimate job somewhere in the world continues and it has led us to stretch the boundaries of our search. Yesterday we had a great interview with Jan from a school in Turkey. It went very well and now we have gotten rather excited about living in Turkey. The school is part of a network of private schools around Turkey that serve children from 3 years to high school. We have also been interviewing for a position at a school in Prague, Czech Republic. That opportunity is sounding quite positive as well. So now we have two potential offers from two very different locations Prague and Turkey. While we would be able to work at both schools the Turkish school seems to be more flexible than the Czech school in terms of curriculum. Now we want help from our readers to tell us which they think looks like a better environment for us to live in. Follow the links below to the Wikipedia pages for both cities and read up:                                                                        

Alanya, Turkey                                        Prague, Czech Republic

Give us your opinions. We want to hear from our friends.We should know more by the end of the week if we are actually being offered these jobs, so we will keep you posted.

The Location!

I just realized how silly we were being! How can you buy all of our stuff if you don't know where we are?!   My address is 2817 Garibaldi in SLO.  Drive down broad, turn down Mutsohito, (in between Utopia Bakery and the Grange hall, and follow that street down to the Villa Rosa apartments.

Also: you should know that this is a BYO truck, crates and reusable totes events.  There will be a $10 delivery fee, or a "buy till you fill that box" penalty if needed.

And...  we will be serving BBQ hot dogs and chips, with $2/glass wine (keep the glass!)
So excited!

Auction Items

We have good news and bad news, lets get the bad out of the way. So apparently the job we thought we had with Spain was a scam. Remember that first post about confirming legitness, well we didn't confirm enough. While surfing the web for some expatriate websites Alan came across a warning about a fraud operation pretending to be the Spanish Ministry of Education. The page told the story and it was too similar to our story. So beware to anyone who think they has a job with the Gobierno Ministerio de Educacion de España. Unless you have used their profex application to register, you are being scammed. Do NOT SEND THEM MONEY!!!  Even if it is for a "visa processing fee" you would pay that at the consulate.

Have no fear because the good news is here. We are still going somewhere and we are still having our auction. That is this saturday May 8th, from 12 to whenever the stuff is gone, or until we are too tired to care. We have some awesome stuff, in fact we took some pictures of some of the sweet stuff. Check it out:
