Kiwi Mark Chapman is a teacher at the International School of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. He is in his ninth lockdown and separated from his wife and children who are 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. Home seems a long way away.
