There are a lot of things that I don’t know, but as a teacher students expect me to know just about everything and anything. Sometimes I feel embarrassed when I can’t answer them when they ask me what the conjugated linoleic acid side effects are. I am like clueless.

With experience, I have learned how to deal with these types of questions. First I decide if it might be something I should know. If it isn’t then I ask the student to research the answer themselves. If it is something then I go to step 2.

Step 2 is telling the student that they had a great question and I will be answering it the next day with an indepth lecture. At home, I will research it and come back with a great answer.

Easy, right?

It can be kind of tough to find good shoes when you are abroad. I know my wife had to get shoes sent from the mainland when she just had to have a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. This is something to keep in mind if you are going abroad and just have to have a specific brand of shoes. You might not find it as easy as you would like to. Then again if you like no name shoes, you will find much more success, depending in how you define success.

When you go abroad to teach, many teachers ask about cell phones. They want to know if they can take their cell phone with them or whether to buy one in the country they are going to. That’s easy. If you have a good quad band GSM phone, then you need to take it along with you. If it’s unlocked, then all the better. You might even want to check out the buys on the net and see about finding one before you even go. The bonus is that once you arrive, all you need to do is buy a sim card, pop it in, and talk.
