Big Uncle on Super Bowl, Bad Bunny, Identity Politics, and a Huge Fuck You to the American People 🇺🇸

Listen up, niece and nephew. The Super Bowl is the biggest football event in the United States. Millions of people tune in every year for the game, the commercials, and the halftime show. For working‑class Americans, families, military households, suburban dads, it’s one of the few nights they get to enjoy something that feels truly American.

And then you get the halftime show.

This year? It was cultural Marxist, race communist, commie bullshit — subversive, anti‑American nonsense shoved into what’s supposed to be a break in the game. Not subtle. Not hidden. Political and hostile to the country. Bad Bunny, performing entirely in Spanish with no subtitles, waved flags from other countries — mostly South American, plus Canada and Puerto Rico — while delivering choreography and routines that leaned heavily into sexualized, stylized presentation. Millions of Americans watching their game couldn’t follow half of what was being said. That wasn’t “diverse entertainment” — that was a middle finger to the core audience.

Look, Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican — yes, that makes him a U.S. citizen. He enjoys all the federal benefits and protections that come with it. And yes, Puerto Rico gets billions in federal funding every year — from Medicaid, SNAP, housing support, disaster relief, and education programs. Its GDP in 2023 was about $118 billion, far less than any major state, and the per capita aid is enormous. Compare that to U.S. foreign aid to countries in Latin America — Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala — which is a tiny fraction. The point is: Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., gets extraordinary federal support, and yet the halftime messaging leaned away from American identity and toward a pan-American or global stage. Millions of Americans tuning in saw it and felt disconnected.

And then there’s the audience reality: the NFL is overwhelmingly American. The vast majority of players are U.S.-born. Latin American players are a small minority — around 2–3 % of the roster. Outside the U.S., interest in American football is niche at best, even in Mexico and Brazil, compared to soccer. For a show built around American football, waving South American flags makes zero sense.

Political messaging? Not subtle. Bad Bunny has openly criticized U.S. immigration policies and agencies like ICE. He’s advocated for open borders in public forums. He’s basically telling millions of Americans watching their national football game that their laws and policies are wrong. That’s provocative. That’s intentionally antagonistic.

And let me tell you something from personal experience: I lived in Vietnam for many years, ran businesses, and traveled across Southeast Asia. Never once did I see an English-speaking performer at a major event criticize the host country or its government. The same is true across Latin America — at their biggest sporting events, their national celebrations, or concerts, you never see an English-speaking artist get on stage to attack the country, its policies, or its leaders. It just doesn’t happen. The reality? This is only expected in majority-white Western countries. America, in particular, is treated as a place where performers can do this and the audience is supposed to just sit quietly and accept it. Millions of Americans noticed, reacted, and were immediately labeled “bigots” by the cultural Marxists and race communists running these shows.

Let’s talk production: since 2019, the halftime show has been produced by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. Under that setup, artist selection has leaned heavily toward hip-hop, R&B, and performers who fit a certain cultural lane — a lane designed to push cultural Marxism and race communism. Look at the last five or six years: Eminem is practically the only white headliner. Earlier decades had a mix — Aerosmith, NSYNC, Bruno Mars, Coldplay. Now the lineup focuses on a narrower set of artists, which has shifted audience perception dramatically.

The backlash was immediate. Turning Point USA launched its “All-American Halftime Show” as a counterprogram, and it blew up. Around 10 million concurrent viewers on YouTube, making it one of the most-streamed live events ever, eventually hitting roughly 20 million total views. People wanted something for them — a patriotic, audience-centered alternative — and they delivered. Meanwhile, millions dropped off the official broadcast during the halftime show. That’s not just audience dissatisfaction — that’s a direct hit to sponsors, to network ratings, to the bottom line. The NFL boardrooms are going to be sweating about that one.

And let’s be honest: the people producing these shows? Cultural Marxists, race communists, third-worldists. There’s not a third-world dictatorship they don’t love. There’s not a borderless policy or anti-enforcement agenda they don’t cheer for — but ask them to respect American borders, jobs, or working-class values, and suddenly they start calling the critics “bigots.” That’s the lane they’re running, and this halftime show was the perfect example.

This isn’t a critique of Spanish language or culture — it’s about context, audience, and intention. Millions of Americans tune in every year for one of the few truly national spectacles — and the halftime show delivered messaging that felt hostile, alienating, and out of sync with their values. From every angle — production, messaging, flags, choreography, and politics — it was a provocation.

And make no mistake: people noticed. Millions tuned in for Turning Point USA’s alternative, millions dropped off during the halftime show, and sponsors are now facing the reality of alienating a huge segment of their audience. That’s not just commentary — that’s hard business logic.

The lesson? American football is an American tradition. It’s a stage for millions of working-class viewers who want to feel connected to their country and their teams. Any halftime show that ignores that reality, that prioritizes ideology over audience, is going to leave a mark. And if you think that reaction is small… look at the numbers. Millions of people spoke loud and clear with their remote controls.

"Why can't we get visas?" Let me guess, it's racism right? This is the excuse most lowlifes with no respect for their host countries' laws use. They do the same in the West.

If You Really Don’t Wanna Think, Teaching Primary School Is Your Gig 🇻🇳

Let’s cut the crap. If you want a job that’s simple, low-stress, and pays way more than you’d expect compared to your cost of living, teaching primary school ESL in Vietnam is about as good as it gets.

I’m not kidding. The expectations are low. The vocabulary is low. The lesson plans? Basic. The games? Kids run them if you know what you’re doing. Honestly, it’s the kind of job a trained monkey could do. And yeah, eventually, AI might take over some of this work. But for now? Go get your money. There are very few places in the world where a degree in literally anything lets you earn this kind of cash in a developing country like Vietnam, with rent, food, transport, and living expenses so low your salary feels like a jackpot.

Here’s the thing: time is not on your side. We don’t know how long this kind of opportunity will last. ESL teaching is changing fast. Technology is creeping in. Policies are evolving. If you have a degree, even if it’s completely unrelated to education, you’re in a prime position to step in right now. Don’t wait.

And here’s a reality most people don’t talk about: females are highly desirable in this industry. In Vietnam, teaching ESL is surprisingly male-dominated — unlike teaching in most countries. Kids respond better to women, parents prefer women, and sometimes just being a young female is enough to get the job, even without a degree. If you look kindergartener-teacher-ish, that’s an obvious advantage. If you’re a female native speaker or a European non-native with the right vibe, you’re already ahead of 90% of the competition.

If you really don’t want to think, the sweet spots are primary school, kindergarten, and preschool. Kids are still open-ended. They’re curious. They respond to games. If you make learning fun, they’ll participate, speak English, and actually enjoy it. High schools? Sure, sometimes they’re okay. But you’ll also hit classes where the students know they’re not going to learn English and their future is to be a Grab driver or something else. No matter how engaging you are, how nice, or how much effort you put in, they don’t care. With the younger kids, that’s rarely an issue.

That’s where Big Uncle’s Reborn Abroad ESL Employment Consulting Service comes in. We don’t just connect you to jobs. We teach you the game, show you how the industry works, and explain the hidden advantages like age, gender, nationality, and market trends. We hook you up with local service providers, short-term accommodation while you figure out your permanent setup, and guidance to navigate the tricky parts of living and working in a new country.

Why does this matter? Because teaching isn’t just about the money. It’s also a strategic stepping stone. Maybe you’re tired of being stuck in a rut. Maybe you want to explore a country that’s developing fast, with opportunities for networking, entrepreneurship, or leveling up your skills. Teaching gives you breathing room. It lets you live, earn, and figure out your next move while staying legally employed and immersed in the local culture.

And if, down the road, you want to start your own company in Vietnam, stay long-term, or create multiple income streams, Big Uncle has your back. Reborn Abroad can facilitate connections, help you understand local business culture, and make the process far less confusing than trying to do it alone.

Right now is a rare moment. A degree in any field can get you into teaching ESL in Vietnam. If you’re female, young, and approachable, you’ve got an extra edge. The game is changing, and the longer you wait, the more competitive it will get. So don’t wait, don’t overthink, and don’t let the opportunity pass you by.

Whether you want a simple paycheck, a year to figure out your life, or a launchpad to something bigger in a rapidly developing country, Big Uncle can help you get there.

Lazy but Effective ESL Games for Vietnamese Public Schools 🇻🇳

Some teachers say, “Some days I don’t want to do anything.”

Me? I don’t ever want to do anything.

That doesn’t mean I can’t turn it on. I absolutely can. I’ve walked into Vietnamese public school classrooms and treated it like a rock concert. High energy. Loud voice. Big movements. Games back to back. Kids screaming. Total chaos, but controlled.

And yeah, it works.

For a while.

But reality kicks in fast. You’re a foreigner. You’re not built for Vietnam’s humidity. Ten minutes in, you’re sweating through your shirt. Twenty minutes in, you’re soaked. By the end of two periods, you feel like you just finished a CrossFit class inside a sauna.

Then there’s the noise. Vietnamese primary school volume is unreal. I taught wearing earplugs more than once because the screaming gets that loud. Not exaggerating.

Add in the environment. I’ve taught in public schools next to open construction sites with black dust blowing straight through the windows. I’ve taught on main roads with motorbike exhaust and soot floating into the classroom. No AC. Fans barely working. Thirty to fifty kids packed into a room.

At some point, you realize something important.

High-energy teaching is optional. Efficient teaching is not.

That’s when I stopped performing and started designing classes that run themselves.

Why Games Work in Vietnamese Primary Schools

Games work in Vietnamese primary schools because kids care about competition, points, and beating the other team. They do not care about long explanations or perfect lesson plans.

Games fail when the teacher has to constantly talk, hype, manage, and referee. Games succeed when you explain the rules once and let the students handle everything else.

If you’re exhausted at the end of class, you’re doing too much.

Slap the Board Is the OG, but It’s Carnage

Let’s be honest. Slap the board is the original ESL game. The OG. Every teacher learns it. Every class loves it.

And in Vietnamese public schools, it turns into absolute carnage.

Kids sprinting full speed. Bodies crashing. Hands slapping the board over and over. Arguments about who touched it first. Accusations of cheating. Someone always gets shoved. Someone always gets upset.

Slap the board works, but it works too well.

After enough chaos, I retired it.

Throw the Sticky Ball at the Word

This is slap the board evolved.

Same excitement. Same competition. Way less violence.

You write the vocabulary on the board. Split the class into teams. One student from each team gets a sticky ball. You say the word. They throw the sticky ball at the correct word.

No sprinting. No pileups. No kids slapping the board like it owes them money.

You rotate throwers, keep the score on the board, and let it run. This can easily eat up twenty to thirty minutes while you supervise and conserve energy.

If slap the board is the OG, throw the sticky ball at the word is the survival version.

The Writing Race Game That Doesn’t Start Fights

Another modification that actually works long-term.

Divide the board into columns, one column per team. Each team sends one student at a time.

You say the word. They run up, write it in their team’s column, then slap the board under their own column to show they’re finished.

The slap is just a signal, not the competition.

Because no one is fighting for the same space, arguments drop way down. They’re racing to write and spell correctly, not to smash the board first.

Once this starts, the class basically runs itself.

Who Wants the Power

This is where lazy teaching becomes effective teaching.

At some point, you stop choosing teams. You stop managing everything. You look at the class and ask one question.

Who wants the power?

Hands go up instantly.

You pick two students. Always one boy and one girl. That alone avoids a lot of drama.

But here’s the part most new teachers get wrong. You must pick strong students.

Strong doesn’t mean aggressive. It means confident. Loud enough. Respected. Not easily bullied.

If you pick weak students, the class will pressure them, cheat, argue, and ignore them. The system collapses fast.

Those two students choose the teams. They keep score. They choose the words. They say the words out loud. They manage turns.

If they can’t handle it, you replace them immediately. No debate. No discussion.

Power is conditional.

Once the class sees that weak leaders get replaced, behavior improves fast. This works especially well in Vietnam, where hierarchy actually matters.

Points Are Discipline in Disguise

You don’t need prizes. You don’t need candy. You don’t need stickers.

Points are everything.

Speaking English earns points. Helping teammates earns points. Cheating loses points. Being too noisy loses points.

You don’t argue. You don’t lecture. You just change numbers on the board and the class fixes itself.

Why This Beats High-Energy Teaching Long-Term

Yes, you can rock the room. I’ve done it. It looks impressive.

But it’s exhausting. It’s sweaty. It’s loud. And it doesn’t scale when you’re teaching multiple classes a day in Vietnam’s heat, dust, and noise.

Set it and forget it teaching lasts longer. It keeps you sane. And it actually gets students speaking more than when you dominate the room.

The less you talk, the more they talk.

Final Words

You’re not there to perform every day. You’re not there to save the education system. You’re there to manage a room full of kids and get English out of their mouths.

If the kids are shouting English, arguing about points, and running the game themselves, the lesson is working.

If you’re drenched in sweat, hoarse, and half deaf by the end of class, you’re doing too much.

This kind of real-world guidance is exactly what Big Uncle’s ESL Employment Consulting Service is about. Not just getting a job, but understanding how the game actually works once you’re inside a Vietnamese public school.

Sit down. Let them work. That’s the real Vietnam ESL strategy.

Tet 2026 in Vietnam: The Year of the Fire Horse – Năm Con Ngựa 🐎

Chúc mừng năm mới! As Vietnam welcomes 2026 — the Year of the Fire Horse, or Năm Con Ngựa — it’s a perfect time to pause, reflect, and get ready for what the year might bring.

For those new to Vietnam, Tet is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, the biggest holiday of the year. Families reunite, streets fill with markets, flowers, and decorations, and the energy is all about fresh starts, luck, and new opportunities. It’s a time for celebration, reflection, and planning ahead.

The Horse in Vietnamese culture symbolizes movement, freedom, and bold action. Years ruled by the Horse are dynamic, adventurous, and full of opportunities — but also unpredictable. For expats, this means plenty of potential for growth if you stay alert and adaptable.

For expats and newcomers thinking about work, Tet is also an important moment in the ESL world. Many teachers leave their positions around this time. If you’ve been considering switching schools or entering the Vietnamese ESL scene, this is a great opportunity. Employers are often willing to hire quickly, and because most ESL teachers are paid monthly, leaving before the end of the month usually means you only lose a couple weeks’ pay instead of a full month. That’s where my big uncle’s wisdom comes in — we can help you find a spot, get the right connections, and get set up quickly so you don’t miss the wave.

Why the Year of the Horse Matters for Expats

Energy is high this year. Things move fast, whether in career, travel, or daily life.

Career and Ventures: If you’ve been thinking about switching jobs, starting a project, or expanding your business, this year favors initiative and bold moves, but don’t rush blindly.

Money and Opportunities: Sudden wins can happen, but so can surprises. Stay strategic, especially if you’re here to pursue fortune.

Lifestyle and Well-being: Keep active, explore, and stay engaged, but pace yourself. The Horse can stir restlessness if you burn energy too fast.

Wisdom from the Big Uncle

As Big Uncle always says, “The Horse runs fast, but you must guide it, or it throws you off.” Take that to heart. Embrace the adventure, seize opportunities, but always have a plan and a fallback.

Tet is a chance to restart and recalibrate, and the Year of the Fire Horse adds a bit of extra intensity and momentum. Whether you’re a long-term expat or just stepping into Vietnam, this is your year to move, act, and navigate the adventure wisely.

Chúc mừng năm mới

Leave the UK a Country That Censors Its Own People and Come Teach in Vietnam

I’m gonna say out loud what a lot of people are already thinking

In the UK right now people are being fined arrested or investigated for speech
Not violence
Not theft
Speech

That alone tells you something fundamental has shifted

You’re told the country is free
But then you’re told certain opinions are unacceptable
Certain observations are dangerous
Certain conversations are off limits

At the same time massive demographic change is openly discussed by politicians media and policy groups
Housing pressure
Wage pressure
Cultural fragmentation
Strained services

Call it whatever you want
People see it
People feel it
And they’re not allowed to talk about how it affects them

That’s not freedom
That’s managed silence

Now let me be very clear before someone gets emotional
Vietnam is not a beacon of freedom
It is authoritarian
Locals absolutely face real restrictions
Nobody is pretending otherwise

But here’s the part Westerners don’t understand until they live there

Your experience as a foreigner is completely different

Vietnam does not expect you to participate in its politics
It does not demand ideological conformity from outsiders
It does not ask you to apologize for your history or identity

If you keep your visa in good standing and stay out of domestic politics you are largely left alone

That’s practical freedom

You can walk around safely
You can work
You can save money
You can plan
You can breathe

Vietnam is extremely safe because disorder is not tolerated
People who come in and act foolish do not get endless excuses
They don’t get protected by bureaucracy or ideology
Sooner or later they’re removed

If you mind your business and act right life is calm

You will never be Vietnamese and that’s fine
You’re not competing in their internal social system
You’re operating alongside it

And as a Westerner with a strong passport and strong currency you get access to something very important
The middle and upper class

That opens doors
Business connections
Better housing
Better social circles
Real opportunity

You are allowed to make money
You are not treated as a problem that needs to be managed
You are treated transactionally

Vietnam isn’t perfect
No place is

But you are not being targeted
You are not being censored
You are not being treated like an enemy for existing

For many people Vietnam isn’t forever
It’s a reset
A place to get your footing back
To stop fighting your own government
To figure out your next move

Teaching is often the easiest entry point
It’s not glamorous
It’s not hard
It’s stable
And if you have a degree in literally anything doors open quickly

If you don’t have a degree there are still paths but expectations need to be realistic

I’m Big Uncle
I run Reborn Abroad ESL Consulting Employment Service

We help people get teaching jobs in Vietnam
We also place people in China
We work with an extensive HR network and local service providers
It’s a full concierge soft landing
Jobs housing paperwork expectations culture

If teaching isn’t your goal and you’re looking at investment or business instead we can help in other markets as well including Vietnam

Just inquire and we’ll tell you straight whether it makes sense

No perfect places
No ideology
Just leverage

Big Uncle on China’s Power Struggle 🇨🇳

Mao Zedong was an extreme authoritarian communist, and he destroyed China. Collectivization starved tens of millions. The Great Leap Forward was a disaster disguised as policy. The Cultural Revolution alone was a horrendous crime against the Chinese people, their culture, and their society. Generations were traumatized. Schools, art, history, family life — all destroyed in the name of ideology and Mao’s personal power.

Mao didn’t live like the people. While peasants starved, Mao and the Party elite lived in luxury. Xi Jinping is following the same pattern. Communist slogans and imagery surround the country, but the rulers enjoy wealth, comfort, and privileges while the people pay the price. The hypocrisy is staggering. It has never been about ideology for the people. It has always been about power.

Communism destroys living standards. A socialist economy doesn’t work. Socialism is the precursor. It makes government your ultimate authority and your ultimate limit. Leaders exploit that while pretending to serve the people. That pattern runs from Stalin to Kim Jong-un to Mao to Xi Jinping.

China only began to grow again after Mao died, when Deng Xiaoping admitted what everyone already knew: a socialist economy doesn’t work. Deng opened China to Western capital, markets, and private enterprise, and suddenly prosperity returned. Vietnam tells the same story: socialism collapsed, starvation came, then pragmatism and private enterprise brought growth, stability, and opportunity.

Big Uncle has lived in China on two separate occasions. Beyond that, Big Uncle has spent 11 years in the region, living in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand, and even up in Sikkim near the border of Tibet. That experience gives Big Uncle perspective on China as a neighbor — understanding how they treat surrounding countries, how their mindset shapes regional politics, and the effects of their influence on places like Laos and Sunukville. Big Uncle has seen firsthand how they operate, how they leverage power, and how their internal politics ripple across the region.

The Current Factional Fight

Right now, China is in the middle of one of the most significant internal power struggles in decades. Xi Jinping has consolidated authority, but the People’s Liberation Army has seen a wave of purges that has shocked even long-time observers.

Nine senior generals have been removed or investigated, men who commanded loyalty, ran major units, and oversaw crucial regions. Many of these officials were admired almost like god-like figures in the military:

He Weidong — Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission

Miao Hua — Former Director of the CMC Political Work Department

He Hongjun — Former Deputy Director of the CMC Political Work Department

Wang Xiubin — Former Deputy Director of the CMC Joint Operations Command Center

Lin Xiangyang — Former Commander of the Eastern Theater Command

Qin Shutong — Former Political Commissar of the PLA Ground Force

Yuan Huazhi — Former Political Commissar of the PLA Navy

Wang Houbin — Former Commander of the PLA Rocket Force

Wang Chunning — Former Commander of the People’s Armed Police


The purge has shaken morale throughout the ranks. Reports suggest that at lower levels, some troops are ignoring orders that come down from Xi, and the troop movements across the country are intense and chaotic. It’s a very unusual moment — unprecedented in recent decades — and nobody knows exactly what the outcome will be.

Xi is mostly alone at the top. He has alienated nearly the entire military. There isn’t a real clique supporting him like previous leaders had. The only thing keeping a total collapse from happening is the extreme compartmentalization of the bureaucracy and the chain of command within the military.

Big Uncle hopes this struggle eventually opens space for a more open, more pro-West China — maybe loosening restrictions on business and education, maybe even allowing foreign teachers to operate more freely. But there’s no telling. At the very least, it’s satisfying to see the commies sweat, stumble, and struggle a little.

Why This Matters for ESL and Expats

Even with all this turbulence, China is still one of the largest ESL markets in the world. Demand for English education is enormous. Parents still want their kids to learn, schools still need teachers, and one-on-one tutoring, corporate training, and private centers are still thriving.

The environment is more complicated than it used to be. Regulations, visa enforcement, and sudden policy changes make operations trickier. But with the right guidance, Big Uncle knows it’s still possible to work in China and thrive.

That’s where Reborn Abroad comes in. Even now, Big Uncle’s team can help you secure real ESL jobs in China. Big Uncle’s partner in China is American, has lived there for years, and speaks fluent Mandarin. He knows the schools, the employers, and the networks that matter. He ensures connections to legitimate, stable opportunities and keeps teachers out of unnecessary drama.

If China ever loosens up — even slightly — the opportunities would explode. Easier visas, more flexibility for teachers, and a more open business environment could bring exponential possibilities. Big Uncle has seen firsthand how quickly the market reacts to minor shifts in policy.

Hope for the Future

Big Uncle doesn’t pretend to know what will happen. Xi could tighten control further. Internal pressure within the military and bureaucracy could push a pragmatic turn. Maybe, just maybe, a faction emerges that opens the country further, reduces hostility abroad, and loosens restrictions on foreign business and education. A more democratic, growth-focused China would not just be good for the Chinese people — it would be a sight to behold for anyone who has worked in the region.

Big Uncle believes the demand and the opportunities are still there. China is too big, too strategically important, and too culturally invested in education to ignore. Smart teachers and expats can still operate successfully with the right guidance.

Big Uncle is watching. The market is there. The opportunities are real. Move smart, and you can make it work.

The TEFL Industry Is a Scam: Big Uncle Doesn’t Want to See You Get Finessed 🌎

It might not be popular to say it, but Big Uncle is going to tell you the truth anyway.

The TEFL industry, as it exists today, is largely a scam. Not because teaching English abroad isn’t real, but because there is an entire industry built around selling fear, confusion, and overpriced credentials to people who do not yet understand how developing countries actually function.

There are charlatans out there, especially in places like Vietnam, selling TEFL courses for thousands and thousands of dollars. Classroom based. International sounding. Job placement promised. In reality, many of these TEFLs are only registered locally, sometimes only inside Vietnam itself. Outside of Vietnam, they mean nothing. And Vietnam is not an English speaking country, so the idea that this registration carries serious weight should already raise questions.

Big Uncle looked deeply into this years ago because at one point I considered opening a TEFL myself. The accreditation side of this industry is weak. Many TEFLs are accredited by bodies you can simply pay. There is no global standard, no real oversight, and no one accrediting the accrediting bodies unless they are directly tied to universities. Those exist, but they are the exception. Most of what people see is paid validation designed to look official.

Here is the part people really need to understand. Employers do not care.

They do not care whether your TEFL cost twenty five dollars, a few hundred dollars, or thousands of dollars. In most cases, especially when teaching English in Vietnam, teaching English in China, or teaching English in Cambodia, a TEFL is just a box check. Immigration wants something on paper. Schools care about other things.

And this is where Western thinking trips people up.

A lot of employers care far more about whether you are young, whether you are a native speaker, and yes, whether you are white. That is the uncomfortable reality. In some scenarios, especially in parts of Southeast Asia, being a young white native speaker can matter more than credentials. In certain cases, even not having a degree may not be a deal breaker depending on the country, the school, and the situation. That is not how it should be. That is how it is.

People coming from the West tend to fixate on accreditations, certificates, and formal checklists. Developing countries do not always operate that way. Many schools are businesses first. Image matters. Marketing matters. Parents are customers. Retention matters. Re signing matters.

In many schools, you are not even allowed to fail students. Everyone passes. Once you understand that, the entire system starts to make sense.

Now let’s be clear so nobody twists this.

There are real qualifications. CELTA. DELTA. University linked programs. Those are properly accredited and they do have value. But unless you are planning to make teaching a long term career, they are largely overkill when you are just starting out.

For most employers, especially in Vietnam and China, they care far more about whether you have a bachelor’s degree in almost anything than whether you spent big money on a TEFL. The BA matters. The TEFL does not, beyond checking a box. No employer gives a shit whether you spent twenty dollars or hundreds or thousands of dollars on an average TEFL or TESOL.

If you already have a BA, gain experience, and later decide you want to specialize, move into higher tier schools, or treat teaching as a profession long term, then CELTA or DELTA can make sense. That is a later move. Not an entry requirement.

Most TEFL courses are built around ideal classrooms with resources, materials, technology, and support. Then you land in a real school in Southeast Asia with no AC, broken equipment, large classes, and limited resources. That theory does not help you much. You learn on the job. Everyone does.

If we are being honest about the actual work, you benefit far more from being patient, calm, energetic, and good with kids than from any TEFL. This is a service industry.

The TEFL industry preys on the gap between Western expectations and developing world reality. They sell certainty in an environment that does not run on certificates.

At Reborn Abroad Expat Consulting, Big Uncle does not sell fantasy or overpriced PDFs. We connect people to real schools, real employers, and real job leads in Vietnam, China, Cambodia, and beyond. We share live openings through our network and group chats, and we tell people straight how this industry actually works.

Big Uncle does not want to see you get finessed.

Combat Sports Build Community in Tirana Albania for Expats and Locals 🇦🇱

Over the course of my life, combat sports have been a positive force. Boxing and Muay Thai taught me discipline and focus, and as I got older, jiu-jitsu, judo, and wrestling became ways to stay healthy, manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and handle life’s challenges.

Being part of a combat sports community also makes traveling and living abroad easier. It gives you connections, friendships, and a place where you feel welcome no matter where you are.

Here in Tirana, Albania, I’ve found that community at Brotherhood Jiu-Jitsu. Coach Bruno is incredible. He cares about his students not just for their skills on the mat, but for their overall health and well-being. The club lives up to its name—Brotherhood. The people here are welcoming, supportive, and passionate about the sport.

If you’re in Tirana and want to train, meet great people, and be part of a real community, check it out: Brotherhood Jiu-Jitsu Location

Sportet e Luftës Ndërtojnë Komunitet në Tiranë për Eksportuesit dhe Banorët Lokalë

Gjatë jetës sime, sportet e luftës kanë qenë një forcë pozitive. Boksi dhe Muay Thai më mësuan disiplinë dhe fokus, dhe më vonë xhiu-xhitsu, xhudo dhe wrestling u bënë mënyra për të qëndruar të shëndetshëm, për të menaxhuar stresin, ankthin dhe depresionin, dhe për t’u përballur me sfidat e jetës.

Të bëhesh pjesë e një komuniteti sportiv e bën gjithashtu udhëtimin dhe jetesën jashtë vendit më të lehtë. Krijon lidhje, miqësi dhe një vend ku ndihesh i mirëpritur kudo që ndodhesh.

Këtu në Tiranë, Shqipëri, kam gjetur këtë komunitet në Brotherhood Jiu-Jitsu. Trajneri Bruno është i jashtëzakonshëm. Ai kujdeset për studentët jo vetëm për aftësitë në mat, por edhe për shëndetin dhe mirëqenien e tyre. Klubi e meriton emrin e tij—Vëllazëri. Njerëzit këtu janë mikpritës, mbështetës dhe të apasionuar pas sportit.

Nëse jeni në Tiranë dhe doni të stërviteni, të njihni njerëz të shkëlqyer dhe të bëheni pjesë e një komuniteti të vërtetë, vizitoni: Brotherhood Jiu-Jitsu Location

Big Uncle Talk: Borders, Patterns, and Not Repeating the West’s Mistakes 🇰🇭

Let Big Uncle kick some reality to you, little niece, little nephew.

Cambodia just deported 419 people in two days. Seven nationalities. And let’s be honest about what’s happening. It’s the same people doing the same things, over and over. When immigration authorities actually start finding and removing people, the same patterns show up again. Big Uncle isn’t guessing. This has been seen before, plenty of times.

The nationalities involved in this specific deportation were not from white, majority-Christian Western countries. That’s simply who was arrested and deported in this case.

Now, let’s be clear about something. Cambodia still has serious challenges, especially with scam call centers and cross-border fraud. Nobody is pretending that problem is magically solved. But this is exactly why this move matters. It’s a positive sign to see stronger enforcement and a willingness to actually act instead of looking the other way.

This is where Southeast Asia needs to wake up.

The West ignored these realities for decades. Same patterns. Same groups. Same outcomes. Instead of enforcing laws early, they softened enforcement, made excuses, and pretended patterns didn’t matter. The result has been nonstop problems: organized scams, fraud networks, parallel communities, and systems pushed past their limits.

Now the same issues are appearing in Southeast Asia. Different region, same behavior. Illegal entry. Overstays. Scam operations. Fraud. We already know where this road leads if nothing is done.

Southeast Asia is still rising. Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia are building, growing, and stabilizing. That means these countries still have a choice. They can learn from what went wrong in the West instead of repeating it.

• Follow the law and you’re welcome
• Break the law and you’re out

No endless excuses. No drawn-out processes. No pretending patterns don’t exist.

Adults understand this part. Certain nationalities show up again and again in enforcement data tied to overstays, illegal entry, and scams. That does not mean every individual is a problem. It does mean governments would be reckless to ignore repeat behavior when shaping immigration policy.

Developing countries don’t have unlimited money, manpower, or patience to absorb problems imported from elsewhere. Protecting social stability isn’t cruelty. It’s responsible leadership.

Cambodia’s move here isn’t perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction. Clear action sends a message, not just to bad actors, but to citizens and legitimate foreigners who want safe, functioning societies.

That’s how you keep a country attractive for real investors, legitimate expats, teachers, professionals, and locals who don’t want their cities turning into scam hubs.

The West already showed us what happens when borders become optional. Southeast Asia doesn’t need to learn that lesson the hard way.

Big Uncle advice. Wake up early. Enforce consistently. Fix problems before they become permanent.

Compassion without enforcement isn’t compassion. It’s negligence.
