jeni :)

Hello all,


@xxxxJenixxxx : Just to inform you that this is quite an old thread. What i would suggest is you try to PM greg87 to get to know more of JKS or create also a new thread and state that you will be at JKS and ask for required infos.

Regards

Kenjee

Thank you ill try that now!

Hi Greg,

Im a new JKS starter too, I've got my flight details through so im extra nervous but excited. What age and subject are you teaching?

Jeni

I'm also moving to Jeddah mid August. I'll be teaching at AISJ and will live in Saudia City. Also, nervous, excited and hopeful is not as boring and lonely as some people make it seem like.

Right, let's do this!
JKs starters, we're getting acquainted and meeting up out there!
