I've just joined my local snooker club... About 6 weeks ago. Probably played 10 times so far. What's people's experiences of starting in their 30s and how they've progressed? What give you good bang for your buck in terms of practice drills? What advice would you give to someone starting out?
I honestly feel like the more I practice and concentrate then less the balls go in!
Hey all,
I'm planning a 6 month trip to SEA and am super excited/nervous all at the same time. I've always wanted to travel but either never had the money or never quite plucked up the courage to do it. Anyway at 35 now I feel like it's about time I stopped making excuses. In November I am off.
I am currently thinking 3 months based in Thailand and 3 months in Vietnam but honestly at this point I'm open to all suggestions - I just feel like having a base might mean I can earn some money teaching English which brings me to my first question - I have a degree and plan to get tefl before I Ieave but what's the reality of teaching English in Thailand and Vietnam - is it easy work to find or is that a bit of a myth? Does it kill your free time with planning etc? Like does teaching 10 hours a week actually look like 20-25 hours with planning? I will probably have a budget of £500/£600 a month without earning anything so I feel like something supplementary might make it a bit more enjoyable. Similarly if you think £500/£600 a month is plenty it would be good to hear your thoughts on that too and maybe I ditch the teaching idea.
Then it would be good to hear your thoughts on places to stay. I'm really not looking for a party vibe - I want chilled out spots that have a good expat/tourist vibe but also allows me to explore SEA and it not feel too much like gap year central!
Any and all thoughts appreciated as I'm really just starting out in my research!
