Teaching Shift

2014-03-01 - Saturday - March of 2014 - Was teaching English at the Leaf Pagoda from August 2013 to March 2014. Some of the people at the Leaf Pagoda, allegedly, wanted me to stop teaching English there. Some might have said that I wasn't teaching there in the first place, allegedly, unless if they were joking. Different people said different things. From my perspective, at the time, it appeared to be not clear. I asked them for an official statement on the details. I got conflicting statements concerning what happened and concerning what they wanted. It's a long story. I kept on asking them questions about it because I wanted them to issue official statements for the record. I wanted to know what happened. It's a long story and I felt that people were lying about me concerning the details. I taught English there. I had a popular class. They cancelled my class from their schedule without telling me. I thought they paid me. Some of them said that I was paid while others said it was only a one-time donation to help me when I lost my 3rd bike in December 2013. They told me I could eat and sleep there but then said I couldn't without explanation. Eventually, some of them began telling me that they received complaints about me from some of the older Buddhists who would come there to worship, allegedly, or so I was told. My problem was that they were not up front with that any sooner. It took them like three months. I felt like they were a bit too slow and too indirect with telling me the rules, the complaints, what they wanted, and everything. If you don't like me, tell me. If you want to break a promise you made with me, just say it, that is assuming promises were made. I asked them if they promised to pay me a monthly salary or not. Just say yes but not any more. Or say no. It's ok to say yes. I wanted to know what happened. I thought Mr. Cuong said salary. Mrs. Duong said I was not teaching there. Duong said my visa was expired, but it wasn't. I just wanted to know what happened. I still don't know the full story. My Leaf Pagoda Adventure ended in March 2014. I went on to teach at other places. I was also teaching at other places at the same time while I was teaching at the Leaf Pagoda. I met people at the 23/9 Park, Tuesday. Talked to Aubrey.
