A Teacher's Journey from South Africa to Taiwan | The Big Fat Man | Palesa Tshabalala

from TMC Podcast

Meet Palesa Tshabalala, a South African teacher living in Taiwan. She's not just passionate about teaching; she's also an author, singer, dancer, and podcaster 🇿🇦 🌍🔥 We had a fascinating chat about culture shock, tackling challenges, food, loneliness, and mental health. Palesa even shared insights from her self-published book, "The Big Fat Man: Ndebele Book," and some unique stereotypes some people have about Africans, "In Africa, you eat rocks." 📚🌍 During her short visit home, Palesa shared a funny story about a taxi ride that took her to Alexandra Township on the way to the TMC studios. 🚕😂Watch on YouTube
