6 Month Training

I just logged in about 8 hours of indoctrina...I mean training for Ye Olde English company in Taiwan. Ok, that was just too much. It was ok until the illusion (as tenuous as it was to begin with, it's still important for me to maintain this particular delusion) of this company caring about teaching more than it cares about money was broken. After that point I really just wanted toget out of there. I guess I'm starting to have problems reconciling my problems with global Americanization and working for a company that teaches English, and particularly English with a North American accent. Am I preparing them for the global marketplace or participating in the erasure of their culture in favor of Lay's Brand Potato Chips (seaweed flavor be damned) and other "exotic" American corps? Probably both. I think a vacation is a good idea. I think getting away from all the small frustrations for a while will really clear my head a bit.
