nice reply jim pastore - good to see you stand up for your school - I guess sometimes people don't fit in and don't like their situation - whats great for someone doesn't suit someone else - its the way it goes - there is a lot to adjust to in teaching overseas.

Hi - We all can have second thoughts and things do change, on both sides! 90% of people involved with international education understand this and are reasonable. Be sensible, contacting the person who recruited you is a good idea as is getting your associates opinion.

Change can be dramatic and it somtetimes takes time to adjust as is evident with post in Jeddah. Don't have a negative approach. Good luck :D
