was made a national hero of Ukraine by Zelisnky

I think it was done before him. He positioned himself as "moderate jew" (although he is not) and got positive support from anerican and israeli jewish leaders. 

Openly proclaiming Bandera as a national hero would backfire at him and his sugar daddies.

Was it that Poroshenko back than?

Left since last night. Will clean 30 minutes before opening at 4PM

Computing Management at full Enterprise

Wow! My IQ just dropped 99 points as I can't grasp what is this "course" is about 

Is it for computer café franchise manager?

Like Pui & Suki Computer Enterprise?

Thanks, but this is for a Master can still use some of the ideas from it, though.

Well dah! we're doing that for Masters. 

What do you need? The template is quite obvious and need just a little correction for college. 

Above you mentioned University, not a college

those over-stayers are just like some type of different species: immortals with tails or even more freaky. 

they don't afraid of being caught 'cos they know how to get out, they know how blend in other folks, yet they posses the power to abuse the system.

Tempting? Nah, rather freaky!

here we go:

A Statement of Purpose (SoP) for pursuing robotics and engineering could be structured as follows:

---

Feel free to customize this template with your personal experiences, career goals, and reasons for choosing a specific program. Good luck with your Statement of Purpose!

At this time we're writing something about "mission" - but it seems they also don't know what is the correct form of SoP too. 

@kingstonkid in your case it is even harder: "robotics and engineering courses" 

if he failed they (parents) will blame you. Do you want that to happen?

Maybe use ChatGPT?

I think that there's some sweepstake machine at the US Emb. ever since. I saw complete misfits who went to US and remains there as a nurse and successful businessman from IT industry who was denied 2 weeks visa to go to annual Comp Expo in Las Vegas.

Nothing rational behind their actions. 

As for agents - obviously not helping.

We had a chance to attend University of Tasmania but cost of living there is just crazy. Same goes to other at NZ and esp. in Australia - every teacher is "teecha Bob" or "teecha Stevee"

End up with MY - "Truly Asia"

What they are looking for is why you chose this program and what you have done in to prepare for the course.

My wrong. Student has to submit SoP w/other documents. I'm talking about Master's course in University.

@kingstonkid Thanks!

Unfortunately, the robotics and engineering courses at Kmitl and a lot of schools now require it.

Strange paper I'd say. Asking for something they can't describe but demand.

At KMUT Northern Bangkok didn't ask SOP.

what is all about? Yes, there are americans moving to RU, while overwhelmingly more russians dream or on the move to US.

They have their own reasons. Sometimes are strange, sometimes obvious. Who cares? Also who cares about plumbing in the 11 time zones country?

Yes, that is very true. Nobody wants.
Somewhere near Men-Chai area of Huay Kwang in international private school taught openly 6ay teacher w/nickname Falco.

Outraged parents submitted "WTF letter" to headmaster and soon Falco got fired. Midterm.

He promised to sue the school:

And do a winter vacation in Siberia, that was character building.

Yeah, those mega rivers & lake Baikal.
Something to remember and consider that (like TH) Moscow is not Russia "per se" as Bangkok doesn't represent Thailand. 

My colleague went to Sakhalin (far east of RU with volcanoes, hot springs and amazing views). Completely mind blowing according to him.

How are we supposed to gauge the reliability of any of these articles when we have no idea what source they're coming from?

ChatGPT perhaps? let me try:

American expatriates in Russia are often diverse in their reasons for moving, professional interests, and personal circumstances. Some may be in Russia for work, study, family ties, or friendship support. Russia can offer various opportunities for American citizens, such as jobs in international companies, education in universities, or immersive cultural and language experiences.

Immigrants often encounter differences in culture, language, and customs, which can be challenging but also lead to a deeper understanding and adaptation to the new environment. Additionally, it's important to consider administrative formalities like visas, residency permits, and other legal aspects of living in Russia.

Since the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, the situation for expatriates, including Americans, residing in Crimea has become complex. From the international legal perspective, Crimea is considered Ukrainian territory and its annexation by Russia is not recognized by many countries including the United States.

For American expatriates living in Crimea, it may present unique challenges. Due to political tensions, there may be limitations on consular services and diplomatic support from the U.S. government in Crimea. Travel restrictions and sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries can also impact expatriates living in the region.

Moreover, the political situation and security concerns in Crimea can have implications for everyday life, including access to certain services, freedom of movement, and legal protections. It's essential for expatriates in Crimea to stay informed about the local situation, adhere to relevant laws and regulations, and consider how the geopolitical context may affect their stay in the region.

I seem to recall years ago reading about a 70+ year old farang in Bangkok finally being caught out on 5000+ day overstay.

Wow! that is really cool over-stay! more than 13 years!

Language barrier is the big issue - RU or TH.

unless you're going to live in the international community you'll bump into obvious and very annoying problems.

IMHO more Russian were/are relocation to USA than backward

Trump made a fortune on "born in USA" kids and their families. From Russia, Ukraine and other ex-USSR states. $50K/pop

Can you can get your passport replaced by US if on overstay without being dobbed in ? 

Do banks look for entry stamps when issuing a new card?

1. Not sure. But I think they would NOT care about your visa status.

2. Not at all! Just replaced my K-Bank card - they took a copy of first page and that was over. Bangkok Bank branch replaced expired VISA card only with copy of the front page (friend did that about 6-7 years ago).

Would you get strong arm robbed or attacked?

Nope. Just scary groups of drunk and agitated men shouting and calling thai insults + few english slurs. 

I was lucky to distance myself.

From 11 PM many places of BKK don't look safe. I haven't seen police patrols after dark. Ever.
