Having happy and motivated students is awesome. If I could have that all the time, I'd probably still be teaching.

I understand the mental and physical exhaustion of living in a foreign country and not taking a break from the area (and I was in a city; I can only imagine how much more difficult it is in a more rural setting). Finding some routines for mental escape (you mentioned reading in one of your answers) helps.

What have you found most rewarding about your experience so far? Any specific moments that made you think, "This is why I joined"?
