Our own business

When we were eating lunch yesterday the issue of have our own business popped up again.

Every now and then it comes to our mind.

I have been much longer than Wijb and have seen so many foreigners come to China start teaching English, but after a while start doing some other businesses and keep teaching as a supporting stick not just something you live with it and rely on 100%.

The fact is, this brutal reality of losing job or more new, cheap teachers show up especially in China in pretty high, especially with havoc and fluctuated economy of world and England and The firs place over sea could be china for native to teach. We should have a plan B.

I did like Wijb’s ideas to open a café’ or snack bar with Dutch cuisines. There are a lot of bars or pool places have been established and managed by foreigners and in fact Chinese and foreigners who live in China would love to try new places with different atmosphere or taste of food or music to hang out.

I am hoping we can make this idea to a shape of reality one day soon. There fore we need to be aware of accepting risks and settled with part time teaching and not hurry in a plan to sweeping us in middle of nowhere and run into unknown, super unrealistic things.
