The Grand Hotel just completed its 122nd successful year of operation.

Living and Working Abroad
This is not going to be some theoretical piece about how you might do if you decide to live and work abroad. I’ve been ‘doing it’ for almost 30 years now, it was in 1980 that I left my home country, Germany, and in all humility, I am an expert. I have spent seven month in India, lived three years in Greece, another three years in England, and I have been living in Mexico for the past 20 years. The years in between I roamed the world.

Teacher Jobs Abroad
The way I see it, being a teacher is not only a profession, but a vocation. All professions I consider a vocation, like that of a musician to name just another example, involve activities that are based on an inherent talent of the person. Sure, there are thousands of teachers who took up that profession simply because it was convenient to do so, or it was the closest the person could think of as a profession, or maybe dad was a teacher, you name it. They are the reasons why most people choose any job, any profession.
Devil’s Town and The Village of Blood
The locals believed for centuries that they were formed when devils fought for supremacy. In fact their origins are much more down to earth – literally. Take a trip to devil’s town, a peculiar place if ever there was one.
