When you can't rely on your coffee shipment.......
The other day, I was expecting my shipment of fresh coffee to arrive but as the title suggest, it was late. When I tried to have a productive day without a drop of caffeine, I knew it would be an unmotivating day.
The thing is, I need not only a place where I can have coffee but also sit down while teaching my students from afternoon to almost 9 PM. There is certainly a cons teaching from a cafe but I found a reliable place called Arah Coffee, a well-established franchise with no frills. Their cafe feels like a giant box of freezer for to keep things fresh for a long time and I was apparently one of the things. I kid you not, there are more than 7 AC in such a small room, all blasted the entire day 24/7. I am not really sure what their deal is but it's a walk-in freezer that will serve you coffee.
Anyway, when I was there, I tried to make the best of it for cheap. I conducted 4 of my classes there without any internet problem. The internet in that cafe is the fastest in town hovering around 300mbps. All I need was to pay 2.5 for the big size Americano and lounge for hours (no shame). I mean, I am a regular and bring my friends there so in my broque days, that should be justified that I only spend that much 馃槀
I ended up going back home at around 9 PM after my last class. Typically working from this cafe made me extremely tired once I go back home. However, I felt insanely productive because I finished many tasks in that walk-in freezer. Sometimes I wonder if I am not meant to live in tropics due to my love of cold weather 馃ぃ and anything insanely cold.
For my other class, I also asked them a question. " Have you ever thought about adjusting the work situation based on our tropical climate? Say a nap for 1-2 during the day when the heat is at its highest?"
That was quite intriguing question for them because they never think about how environment should actually shape our decision. Where I live, we based a lot of our design, system thinking to western standard in which some things aren't particularly helpful. At the end of the day, my classes aren't only teaching language but also to teach them critical thinking skills and question the norms.
And I am still patiently waiting for my coffee shipment :')
