Travelling Around Asia, Egypt and Beyond
Teaching in a Manitoba affiliated school overseas affords teachers the opportunity to experience working and living in
another country, and at the same time embracing another culture. Lots of holidays provide many opportunities for teachers
to travel to other destinations, learn new languages, meet interesting people and see incredible places.
For teachers teaching at Heritage International School in Cairo, Europe is at their doorstep. Teachers travel everywhere
in Europe as it is inexpensive and accessible. The resorts of the Red Sea, destinations in Africa and the Middle East, as
well as such destinations as India become the holiday venues of choice.
For teachers teaching at Clifford School in South China and Yang Guang Qing School in Beijing,China, popular holiday
destinations include Hong Kong, the sights of Beijing and the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors (Shaanxi Province), Shanghai,
Tibet, Nepal, and Mongolia. Teachers love travelling to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and over to Australia.
Travel is very inexpensive, and excellent.
HEC will make all of the travel arrangements for teachers to get to their destination city
(Egypt and China) and schools.

Travel Tips:
- Prepare for your stay in the country that you will be teaching in by doing some reading about that country, its' civilization,
history, and culture. The more you are aware, the better you will adjust.
- It is important to adapt to the culture of the country you are teaching in.
- You do not need to know the language of the country you will be teaching in, in order to work, live, and travel. English
language will be sufficient for you to work and travel. It is a good idea to learn some basic words such as please, thank
you, hello, goodbye, etc. Your attempt will be appreciated.
- Credit cards are not as widely used as in North America. Make sure to carry cash.
- Attitude is everything when adjusting to a new country and a new culture. Be flexible, try to adapt easily, and accept
that things are not like they are at home.
