Re: My photo and video collection
All those stories seem amazing. Seriously, I wish I have the opportunity to go to Thailand, or be able to see amazing nature wild animals and places. Never been close to a carnivore, unless we are talking about a zoo, with huge cages in the middle. But guys, when will you post all those amazing pict...

Re: Discrimination Against the Disabled, Overweight, and Non-Caucasians
Well, I have a couple of friends in Hong Kong, and apparently they do discrimination. My friends are a couple, they're both from South America, but the guy has the nationality because of his parents. They decided to go and live there, and they say they have been bullied in some way. He may have the ...

Re: Fruit trip in Bangkok streets
Well, I'm a fruit lover indeed, but never heard of Durian. I'm from a tropical country, so coconuts, papaya, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, and all of them are common here. Unfortunately, we don't have the chance to eat what we call exotic fruits, for example litchi, or pitahaya. Also, there is th...

Re: Pampered Foreigners and Ridiculous Complaints
Honestly, whenever I go on a trip, there is always someone complaining about this or that. Seriously, if you want everything to be your way, or the way it is at home, then why do yo go abroad? Safe yourself and everybody else from a very uncomfortable experience. Usually I like to speak with locals,...

Re: Is nightlife allowed for a serious teacher?
My opinion? Everybody deserves some fun. But of course, if you are a teacher, you should be an example, not a shame. When I was studying abroad, my teachers used to hang out with us, I mean my whole bunch of friends from school, that was a way to take care of us and take us to decent places, also th...

Re: Employment opportunities in Thailand
This is super interesting, does anyone knows if there is a chance for foreign physicians to work there? It would be really great to speak directly to a Thai physician or related to talk about it. Seriously, I would love to go to Thailand, but of course finding a job would be like the main goal. So i...

Re: Is tap water safe to drink in Thailand?
I've had very bad issues traveling around, so the theme about water is super important. Getting sick while being out of home is a nightmare, so wherever I go, I try to get bottled water. Please make sure the bottle has the security seal, check the quality of the bottle itself, look at the bottom of ...

Re: What's the youngest group of students you've taught?
Usually, I teach kids from 10 and older, but a mom once really asked me to enroll her little kid, the girl was 8 and I was kind of worried. She was younger compared to the others, really quiet and shy girl. Fortunately the kid was really smart, she turned out to be a very good student, never complai...

Re: How do you deal with talkative students?
Keep them busy! Usually I have plenty of activity worksheets, puzzles, crosswords, to help me out. The other method I have is the "reward" time. So, basically I ask them to pay attention when I'm explaining something, I ask them to focus their attention and participate. If they do collabor...

Re: Are clothes expensive in Thailand?
Not completely sure about it, but a friend went to Thailand about 2 years ago, he was carrying Euros and apparently the money exchange was pretty good for shopping. Of course he didn't buy on boutiques or malls, I'm talking about local vendors, flea markets, home made merchandise. He ended up buying...
