Re: Co-teachers with a Grudge

There is a time to remain silent, there is also a time to speak. So necessary, it is wise to speak when the mistreatment goes overboard. Talk to them first what's their problem. If they will apologize or promised to stop the mistreatment, accept it. But if not, you can call on the higher authority t...

Re: Pampered Foreigners and Ridiculous Complaints

Re: Teacher's Pet

This is unavoidable at time. But being a teacher, you should be at least try not to show you favoritism. It will be for the good of you and the students. If you will show favoritism, it can put your reputation at risks. If you will not show favoritism, your students will be more motivated instead of...

Re: Racist Reactions of People Back Home

With people acting so much lobe for themselves and disregarding other people, it would be difficult for racism to end. Hatred has been here ever since but it is increasing in an alarming level.

Re: Am I a Troll?

Very good topic. People who are trolls sometimes don't even realize it and you pretty much put everything they do in this post. I also loved the part about the grammar nazis.

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 c...

Re: What do you think it's the hardest thing about moving to another country?

Being from a country where families used to be close, leaving my family is the hardest part of going overseas. I miss them so much when I am away. Second, the adjustment in my new place.
