]]> Comment on Teaching English off the beaten track – an EFL teacher in Belarus by Martyn Croston http://www.jobs.ac.uk/blogs/tefl-journey/2011/11/18/teaching-english-off-the-beaten-track-%e2%80%93-an-efl-teacher-in-belarus/#comment-1852 Martyn Croston Sat, 19 Nov 2011 18:34:56 +0000 http://www.jobs.ac.uk/blogs/tefl-journey/?p=793#comment-1852 Although this is not really a forgotten location, I taught English in Moscow for 2 years, and I am sure there are some similarities between Belarus and Russia. I did visit some towns within 4 hours drive of Moscow and it was amazing to see the difference, particularly in how people lived and supported themselves. I remember visiting Tver, which used to be the capital of Russia, and a small town called Taldom. Overall, I enjoyed my experience in Moscow as I was able to perform and improve as a <a href="http://www.martyncroston.com" rel="nofollow">jazz pianist</a> as well as teach English. I feel the main difference between the UK and Russia is that everything is 'extreme' there, in terms of the weather, in terms of the people's attitude towards each other and in terms of wealth. Is this similar in Belarus? Although this is not really a forgotten location, I taught English in Moscow for 2 years, and I am sure there are some similarities between Belarus and Russia.
