It's been a tough few weeks!
26 September 2025Hi team, and thanks so much for your support. I have been on a bit of a roller coaster recently so sorry for my silence. However, I think we are back on track with a different destination!
About two weeks ago I got notice that the Ministry of Education in Singapore does not allow visible tattoos nor can male teachers have any piercings. Now, those who know me know I am an aficionado of both those things. After some discussion about covering up etc. my application to Singapore was put on hold. This was obviously disappointing and quite distressing for me but fear not. Waikato University worked with me and with the teacher exchange to Denmark and it looks like I am off to the snow in Jan instead. I can't begin to say how excited I am about this and it seems Europe are a lot more relaxed about tattoos :-)
