Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for this awesome resource for us ESL teachers...I have found three of my jobs here on this site! The first was in Linyi, China, second in Miami, Florida and third in West Bank, Palestine. I always recommend this site to all my friends and family when they ask about my teaching job/experience. Thanks again!! Elyse

Hi, Dave
I am now looking your site at my ESL class in CA.
Your site is fun and useful to study English.

Personally, It was fun to visit galleries and read community board.
Thank you to making such a site and up to public.

Hello,
My name is C.T.Wells and I have been surfing your site for about 5 years and have always found it very helpful. I returned from Korea in June 2010 and would like to teach on-line or do on-line tutoring. I solicit your help or anyone else who may have some information. I presently reside in Augusta, Ga.

Hi, Dave. I am currently taking an ESL course in Georgetown, Texas and was given an assignment to do research on ESL activities. I came across your site and it was my favorite, by far! I was captivated by your ideas, and your willingness to share your photos with the world. Kudos to you for having such a passion for ESL learning and instruction!!

Hi Dave.I am Tigist,an Ethiopian who teaches English in China.I was here looking at the photos for more than an hour which felt like ten minutes.I was telling myself how one person can succeed in maintaing someone else's mind and attention when they don't even know the person.I was amusing myself at the thought of how you captured great moments and changes in people's life.Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful treasured, moments with us all here.And thanks for the great ESL site-you are doing an amazing job.

Hi,Dave. I'm an old ESL teacher from Phila, PA, USA...retired now and in the Dominican Republic helping some people at their mission house. They want to start an ESL program at their church. I turned them on to your site. What a great resource, and such beautiful photos. I remember you from when you first created your CAFE. Thanks for doing such a great job and for sharing your life with us so willingly. Ruthann Jaeger from Republica Dominicana

Hi Dave,
I am taking TEFL course, and already excited about going abroud to teach English.
I really liked your website and also pictures.
Marilee 13-Oct-2008 15:16
Dave - It was photography that got me to attend art school. I appreciate your work, especially the B&W. I'd love to go overseas to teach, but, alas, people seem to have the mistaken notion that at 63, I'm over the hill. Can you possibly steer me to something more positive?

I'm happy to see that you've updated the pics since your 1989 wedding. Your website is quite remarkable. I'm amazed that for all the people who have visited it, few find time to post comments. Marilee
Rick 08-Sep-2008 04:45
Greetings; first timer on your site. I was riding my bike along the Hong river in Soeul, S. Korea and stoped to speak to a group of ESL teachers that where enjoying them selves. When I inquired about needing one or two teachers in the near future, I was told about your site. Even though I agree that you have a beautiful family and great ability to photograph, I am more intrested in finding a couple of great teachers. Am I at the correct place for what I am looking for? God bless...Rick...Fatodie1@hotmail.com
tomoko 28-Jul-2008 18:24
Hello! I must say that you are an amazing photographer!! I loved the photos from Japan, because I recently lived there for 5 months, and I am planning on going back to Tokyo to teach english at Shane English school.
Would you fill me in with any details you know about the school? Is it good?

Thank you, and best luck with you and your beautiful family!
raymond 17-Jul-2008 10:14
Hi Dave
I was looking for some tips teaching Japanese people English when I came across your great web page. I will certainly be back to see your updates.
All the best for you and your family.

A six-star positive adjective must be invented in order to describe you with.
You are really helpful.
Anton Nicholas 25-Mar-2008 08:09
Browsing for thoughts I stumbled onto your website and was warmly received by your very attentive photographs. Great to view the world through your aspiring eyes.
Words and pictures that have a seemingly tenuous link but with further examination hits the nail on the head. Thanks for creating your fun and very informative website

OMG! My boyfriend, who is from France, Paris, wants to take me to his city. I was a bit reluctant because I've always heard that people from Paris are very snob. In addition, I do not know any French. But you know what? I think I am going to give the try. Your pictures teased me!!!

Dear Dave Hi. I just came across to your photo gallery and i have to say that i realy liked it, especially those pic from the SF Valley Greek Festival. I m styding in the US but originally i m from Greece, so that was a nice surprice for me to see familiar pictures.
I love photography too, and i hope that i would find sometime to create a web site with all my pic from different places i have visited. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Dear Dave: I'm from Argentina. I've visited your web site many times before, and let me tell you that someone can easily see how much love and care you have put on this site. Sorry if my bad english doesn't show my really feelings. I mean, You are an inspiration for those who feel that there is something else in life to do. I can see that you love English, and love meeting people and getting to know them (I see that in the beautiful pictures you took, I hardly believe you know all those in Thailand!)and when a person does whatever his/her heart demands, well my friend, the resault is just one: beauty. I find your pictures touching, it's clear for me you want to say something with them. I don't have engoug words to explain. It's so moving. One fine picture may be luck. All those you have taken on your family... well, congratulations! Good has give you a wonderful family.
Take care, Dave. And congrats. again. And thanks you for sharing part of your life and give unknown people like me the chance to get closer to this language and the opportunity of chatting and learning a little more. Thanks Dave!
Clare 06-Sep-2004 10:53
I loved your photos! I live in KOrea and I dont think there are many of the photos that are typically Korean but they seem to sum up Seoul very well. I think photographs can be a real inspiration-cheers!
Duncan Smith 13-Nov-2003 16:07
Very inspiring pictures - and thanks for a great website too!
D. Naoko Hayashi 10-Nov-2003 14:49
Wow! Really nice pictures! You've inspired me to buy a digital camera and make my own website. I'm going to Thailand for the Lunar New Year!!! Thank you for all the time you have put into Dave's ESL Cafe! I have enjoyed and used it for years.
