Re: Trouble with the Law
It's highly unlikely that a tourist would get arrested in Thailand - unless they were really asking for it. Well, for one thing, a tourist is highly valuable to the economy. In that case, bars, hotels and the like will do all they can to protect him/her and thier money. Since Tourism is one way by ...

Re: Taking Sides in National Rivalries
The South Korean government forcing or maybe taking sides with teachers to hate Japan has actually some historical basis in it. I think it's a way of how the government is voicing out it's grievances against passed atrocities committed against it's people by Imperial Japan's occupation of Korea dur...

Re: Racist Reactions of People Back Home
I think racism is a way for people to hide their insecurities and indifference. People would actually resort to hating the other regardless of color if they feel threatened or feeling less superior. They would rather be discriminating than to accept the fact that they are insecure. Hence the strong ...

Re: Fruit trip in Bangkok streets
I think the South Eastern part of the world is really blessed with bountiful natural resources, tropical paradise and precious commodities including but not limited to fruits, herbs and spices, pearls and many others. That being said, Thailand with it's capital Bangkok as part of the South East Asia...

Re: Is tap water safe to drink in Thailand?
If you are not exactly sure whether the quality of your local water consignee is safe for drinking or not, you can always opt for bottled mineral water. You can also boil your tap water to kill harmful bacteria and other bad microorganisms to prevent stomachache and other water borne diseases. If yo...

Re: Pampered Foreigners and Ridiculous Complaints
Different countries treat foreigners differently, it's not always a Cinderella story of some sort wherein the locals would treat you as prince and princesses. Some foreigners are even treated undesirably while others of much regards and praises. I think most Americans and Europeans are well treated ...

Re: Problems with Living in Vietnam
I've never been to Vietnam, but my sister does. It seems it is fine there. Even some Vietnamese friends, I see nothing wrong. But of course, if you are an expat or a tourist, you should abide with the law. If you are a law abiding citizen, you have nothing to worry. Though there are limitations of ...

Re: Teacher's Pet
There will always be one or two from among the class that the teacher will be most pleased and comfortable with. It is most likely that they have some things in common or have known each other or just simply neighbors. But it doesn't always mean that the student receives more or is treated well more...
