  1. ''receive back'' lol. So you are looking for something to take.
  2. Laos is one of the worst places I have ever visited.
  3. This is the longest peace time in human history.
  4. There's a live plug socket next to my shower. I know about safety issues.
  5. My security checks so far have been ''why is there a teddy bear in your luggage'' ''where are you flying to today sir?'' and ''You teach English? Why you don speak Thai???'' Lets hope the big questions keep coming for the sake of security.
  6. A lot of Teacher Agencies refuse to cancel the work permit even after the work contract has ended / ran one year. I had this problem. They ignored my messages. I called them and they hanged up. I was starting work at one of the top ten highschools in Bangkok. So those people called the agency and the problem was solved. Apparently is illegal to not cancel the work permit for a teacher.
  7. They will notice. I recently had one woman go though every stamp from the first page to the current. She pointed at a stamp (that was done in the same room a year ago) and said it is wrong. She told me to leave the country within 24 hours or give her some money. So I gave her the cash.
  8. Actually you might have only 1 month left. There is a higher chance of dying from a random incident, cancer or heart disease than the 70 year old guy. Not even adding in people who have to live in a gang, poverty and other health risks.
  9. It's all visa fee really because they force you to keep doing visa runs and enter as a tourist.
  10. You will spend 5 of them sitting in traffic jams and 2 of them on the toilet.
  11. You can't die from hummus being thrown at you. Is this for real?
  12. ''global warming is off the charts'' what charts? You mean the stock photo of a wildfire and a man walking near it? Convincing stuff.
  13. Can't be bothered to watch it but intelligence seems to mean less and less in the workplace. Most of the teachers I work with haven't even finished highschool but they are the perfect incomprehensible shouty clowns that Thailand wants. Saw one teacher riding around the school on a kids bicycle dressed as Pikachu. Who needs IQ?
  14. The retirement age is 66 now. Might as well just enjoy life and spend the money. You can work every day of your life and not have enough to buy a house. The cost of living doesn't equate to saving money when you are young.
  15. They have this in England as well. But it's more intrusive. It can actually turn on your phone, vibrate, sound a siren and send you a message.
  16. Just stick a tree branch in it and move on. There's a huge explored deep drain outside of Tescos (about the size of motorcycle) but it has a tree branch in it. It's filled with rainwater as well so if you are a child or it's nighttime than you will die.
  17. You need about 300 words to start to enjoy a language. So that's like 10 fruits, 10 animals, 10 flavors, 10 colors, 20 food, and so on. Watch YouTube a lot. This is great for listening practice. Avoid all grammar, reading and writing. The ''tones'' thing doesn't exist - do not fall for it. All words are understood within context in all human languages. I would cut the wood if Mr. Wood asked me.
  18. Is Global Warming just a way to force everyone to buy Electric Cars and put pressure on Russia and the Middle East? Parking Fines / permits (1986) Garages saying your new car no longer works / the MOT test - 1991 Roadside emission checks (1999) The congestion charge (2003) Tax Exemption for older cars changed to be 40 years - (2008) Vehicle Scrappage Scheme (2009) The ULEZ (2019) Next Step ??? (Free Electric Cars for Everyone?)
  19. I'm okay with a gf and the cats. I see their family in small doses. Like catching a flu and getting over it.
  20. What is Israel? It's a country right?
  21. I think a rock coming in from space. We really have no way to stop that and we know already it wiped out the dinosaurs not to mention other large country-sized craters on earth. One can only imagine the destruction of an impact like that. It really is a race against time to explore space and leave earth now.
  22. They will drain your bank account dry. The family will double overnight. You will start to see the sisters cousins' best friend that needs a new phone to play games on. The kids by the 3rd husband need a new school uniform. The drug addict brother needs to pay off debts. I would advise against marriage.
