New job! In a very pretty corner of Poland! Starting in the fall! [More:]

It's just like my teaching job here in Riga, but with consecutive days off, a smaller/more personal/more personable group of people, no traffic, a walkable/bikeable commute, a friendlier-sounding boss, a more accesible school director, lots of interaction with people from other schools, and is in a country where the national language is not a subject of intense political debate. Of course, my new job won't have Riga's 15% inflation or aging Soviet-era trolleybuses, but you've got to take the good with the bad, right? :)

It's here. Photos!

I am really excited and I wanted to share!

PS: Polish for "bunny" is either króliczek or zajączek according to dict.pl.!
That is one awesome coat of arms!

Congratulations, I know the job in Riga was sort of trying at times. I'm glad you could find a similar job in hopefully better circumstances.

I think it's so cool that you hop around (hop! bunny!) and live in different countries and get to experience all these cultures. I like reading about your adventures. Good luck with this new gig!

Gene Doebray - that means "Good Day" in Polish. I know I butchered the spelling. It's the only Polish I know.

Good for you!

If you're so inclined and want a mission for the weekends, I could use some genealogical help. I can get my family tree back to Poland but don't know much about the family beyond that.
