I think that - bog rolls suck
I must admit there are many good things about being here but going somewhere else for half the salary and a tenth of the cost of living has its appeal

Re: I think we should be leaving now...
moi aussi mon brave - getting out of here soon tho' - one thing I cannot take here - every fcker knows better - then when you try to have a discussion you get interrupted, shouted down etc. - people are sooooo fckin aggressive here - being loud and obnoxious = you're right (in western parlance)

Re: I think we should be leaving now...
employment tip - stay the fck in asia - there it's a teachers' market - other way round here - now more and more non-native English speakers are being employed to teach for lower salaries which means, under Equal Opportunities, all salaries are low - add that to tax and cost of living - I worked it out - you're roughly ten times better off re. standard of living and infinitely more employable over there

Re: I think we should be leaving now...
have to admit tho', the leafy summer evenings creeping in are nice - see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
been privatising a Thai family this w/end and been paid in massage currency - very good this woman, taught at Wat Po. Anyway, she has 2 grown up kids and sis over for 1 month who are freaked out by bright sunlight at 8.30 p.m.
she also left me feeling like I should be admitted to A & E!!

Re: I think we should be leaving now...
life's what you make it wherever you are.
i was happy in thailand, i'm happy in the u.k.
some people have a habit of having a shitty time whererver they are and spend their time running away...funnily enough it's you that's the problem and wherever you go, you're still gonna be there.
