    Thailand... and then?

    You must have thought about it by now.

    You musta.

    If you left, where would you go? And more importantly... why?

    I love my jungle, but perhaps there's something better. Call it wanderlust or greed/need for money, or boredom, or the 7 year itch (!) but I'm starting to wonder...

    So, where would you go?
    Take me down to the paranormal city where the girls are green and they have three titties...
    Oh, won't you please take me home?

    You think?

    Why, specifically? Cos that's an option.

    Somewhere back in the mainstream maybe Bill?

    I've always understood that you were an Aussie.......

    Maybe Melbourne.......

    Anyway shirley you have some idea wresting in the back of your mind.

    You're certainly welcome to the tundra, if you so choose.

    Are you prepared for the culture shock?

    cuz from talking to people whove been there (non teachers, tho) myanmar sounds like thailand used to be about 40 yrs ago. as an added benefit, i think the salary:cost of living ratio is far more favorable than thailands.

    i dont teach anymore, but if i did id definitely be itching to check it out.

    Close, but no cigar.

    I have many ideas, hence the thread. Care to contribute? Where would you go?

    I suppose it depends on what you are looking for. I left Thailand to return to the UK to try the "rat race" for a bit. After about 10 months back in the UK I am itching to leave again. If it is money you are after, perhaps looking towards the middle east? Or returning to Bangkok? Or perhaps something completely different? Mongolia?

    Anyway bill, good luck with the ruminations............

    In terms of places not to go to....Fort Worth jumps to mind.

    That's in Taxus, eh.

    You probably already know that.

    I'm starting to get the inkling of an itch to GTFO of here. Maybe just a change in schools?

    On to the question at hand. Where? Probably back to the States to get a proper teaching certification. After 3 or 4 years I may come back if the right job becomes available to me.

    No, I knew I chose the wrong wording there.

    I simply meant a more satisfying living experience, vis-a-vis the work to money to fulfillment ratio.

    Definitely go to Canada. You can't miss with Canada. Every loser makes it in Canada.

    You will make it here Willie. Not to mention chicks are hot.
