Hi Guys

Accepted a position at JKS today for Aug 25th, don't massively know what to expected, nervous and excited...wanted to talk to other teachers going there this summer or are currently there. Need some mates to explore with and get to know, I'm going out on my own so will be on my todd, be nice to speak to some people before hand, as I'm sure most people feel the same, eek...

Hope to hear from you guys...

Cheers

Greg

Hello all,

@xxxxJenixxxx : Just to inform you that this is quite an old thread. What i would suggest is you try to PM greg87 to get to know more of JKS or create also a new thread and state that you will be at JKS and ask for required infos.

Regards

Kenjee

I'm also moving to Jeddah mid August. I'll be teaching at AISJ and will live in Saudia City. Also, nervous, excited and hopeful is not as boring and lonely as some people make it seem like.
