I went back at almost 40 to get my masters. You have a different perspective than the younger students, but I think your views are appreciated. I have just gotten my degree, and am deciding what to study next... and meanwhile taking a couple of courses.

You are never too old to learn, it's been said. But it's more fun to do it for yourself, rather than just for some monetary gain or career advancement.

These scams are quite common, but have I been living under a rock ?  Why is it referred to as a "419 scam" - what do those digits refer to ???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

419 is the section of the nigerian penal code that applies to these scams, hense the name.

There are some really funny stories on baiting the scammers... I almost feel sorry for some of them!

Hi,

My wife and I were supposed to go to Chiang Mai this week, but put it off due to the flooding. She was looking forward to taking some cooking classes there.

Any ideas on good, reasonably priced classes in Bangkok? We went to one, was 400 baht for both of us for two dishes, but they closed down now.

Thanks in advance!

Bill

Are lurkers welcome?

I've been following this board since last year (my first visit to Thailand), and am leaving for Bangkok tomorrow for six weeks!
