Covid 19 coronavirus: NZ teacher stranded in Mongolia faces uncertainty about coming home

New Zealander Mark Chapman, who is in limbo as he awaits a flight out of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, is trying to stay upbeat despite being uncertain when he will see his family again.

Chapman is a teacher at the International School in the capital city of Mongolia. He is in his ninth lockdown and separated from his wife and children in Aotearoa.

He has weathered a freezing winter with air quality he describes as "apocalyptic" and now he's feeling the pressure: his job ends in mid-June at which point his visa runs out and he loses his apartment - but there are no flights to be had.

"The nature of things in this part of the world is that sometimes things happen much faster than you expect. You wait and you wait and all of a sudden everything's on."

His contract finishes on June 11 but schools will remain shut during May so foreign teachers may be given permission to leave early.

He is teaching the students at the international school online at present - a familiar format.

Mongolia was already in a semi-lockdown because of an influenza outbreak earlier last year before Covid-19 forced more closures.

"We've done 200 days online and I don't believe there's a school anywhere in the world that's done that."

The family returned to New Zealand last year when his mother-in-law became ill. His mother-in-law and father-in-law have since died and, with two older children also based in this country, his wife decided to remain here.

Chapman said he decided to return to his teaching role because the job situation was unclear in New Zealand as the country coped with the onset of the pandemic.

In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic Mongolia had another strict lockdown and kept cases to a minimum.

However, a new government elected in June 2020 decided to get business going again and 50 cases in February 2021 soared to 1300 cases a day by mid-April.

His Mongolian friends and colleagues are very angry, he said.

"It's just skyrocketed ...they are going to keep us under lockdown until the situation improves I think. It's just become rampant and it's because they've taken their foot off the accelerator so to speak. The disease just got out there and it's very hard to control."

"It's apocalyptic. There are some days it's just nasty. You can smell it; you can taste it. Things in the distance disappear because of the yellow haze and in winter you get an inversion layer so the smoke just sits there and it gets worse and worse."

He said the consolation is that once spring comes the air clears.

However, the brutal winter season still has its appeal.

"It's minus 40 degrees and life's an adventure every time you leave your apartment... even the moisture up your nose freezes so you come back with icicles inside your nose. It's freezing."

He recognises the privileged lifestyle that people like him enjoy - living in a comfortable apartment with heating paid for by the government in contrast to the poor migrants in areas such as Ger.

While Chapman can't plan his future, thoughts of being reunited with his family keep him going.

"There's nothing I can do at the moment so I choose not to reflect on the sadness of my situation."

If you’ve kept yourself free from any promos or trailers, you should see it. All the iconic moments from the movie won’t have been spoiled for you. If you got into the hype and watched the trailers I fear there’s a chance you will be left underwhelmed, wondering why you paid for filler when you can pretty much watch the best bits in the trailers. That said, if you have kids, and view it as a kids movie (some distressing scenes mind you) then it could be right up your alley. It wasn’t right up mine, not even the back alley. But yeah a passableAThe Nevers Season 1 Episode 4 with Blue who remains a legendary raptor, so 6/10. Often I felt there jThe Nevers Season 1 Episode 4t too many jokes being thrown at you so it was hard to fully get what each scene/character was saying. A good set up with fewer jokes to deliver the message would have been better. In this wayAThe Nevers Season 1 Episode 4 tried too hard to be funny and it was a bit hit and miss.

The Nevers Season 1 Episode 4 fans have been waiting for this sequel, and yes , there is no deviation from the foul language, parody, cheesy one liners, hilarioThe Nevers Season 1 Episode 4 one liners, action, laughter, tears and yes, drama! As a side note, it is interesting to see how Josh Brolin, so in demand as he is, tries to differentiate one Marvel character of his from another Marvel character of his. There are some tints but maybe that’s the entire point as this is not the glossy, intense superhero like the first one , which many of the lead actors already portrayed in the past so there will be some mild confThe Nevers Season 1 Episode 4ion at one point. Indeed a new group of oddballs anti super anti super super anti heroes, it is entertaining and childish fun.
