Seizing ephemera

Having been discouraged from entering teaching by an over-zealous school careers adviser, Rob spent a couple of decades in the corporate world in his home country New Zealand. But the teaching bug persisted and in response to an ad ‘Teach English Overseas’, Rob took a diploma course and was soon winging his way to Dalian in NE China. Overall Rob spent nearly four years teaching and ended up writing a book The Cat Thief of Gaizhou about his teaching and cultural experiences. The book is available as an e-book or hard copy at: mebooks.co.nz/the-cat-thief-of-gaizhou
