"I noticed a reference the other day on your message board to a site called 'English Job Maze'. I checked it out myself...For anyone biking around the world who needs to stop and do a bit of work along the way, this is a great resource, with heaps of info on finding English teaching work in 50-or-so countries. There are also heaps of English teaching jobs advertised for native English speakers."
"35-year collection of rare American motorcycles and automobiles...230-vehicle collection in the lovely community of Maggie Valley, North Carolina, located just a few miles off of I-40 and the Blue Ridge Parkway." Owner Dale Walksler has very generously donated door prizes for our USA East Travellers meeting, and wants to invite you to come visit the museum - he'll be delighted to meet you!
"An extensive collection of vintage motorcycles, thousands of photographs, posters, postcards and pieces of motorcycle memorabilia, plus a fabulous collection of antique toys and other surprises await you in Iowa."
Located in sunny Tamworth, Australia. "Every single bike in this collection is privately owned and even more amazingly, the owner has many more in his collection of a similar outstanding quality. What that means is that he can chop and change the display quite easily so that you have to just keep coming back."
