I could make a fortune for the international agencies here but they all chose to ignore me. My wife went walking around too and came across an English Language School who needed teachers. Now I teach Business English, Solve Marketing problems quickly that the ad agencies refuse to handle for staff at giant corporations and help them up the ladder in their career to success. I paint the rest of the week and have about 21 Oil paintings complete from a set of 45 I need to hold a one-man exhibition. I don’t know if my work is good, bad or rubbish, and I won’t know until I exhibit, but it only takes one painting to succeed, so I’m just going to keep painting regardless.
