LaosLover Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I'm going to go to grad school in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. It will sort out a long-term visa, be dead-easy compared to the west, and bring me in to contact with positive people -including perhaps the rarely encountered by white men hi-so. I'll def report back. I know from reading here that it's easier to meet Elvis then this sniffy and elusive group. I can see myself racking up useless degree after useless degree (Asian Studies, Print-making etc.). It's a few thousand dollars a year for me and my wife to be perennial students. And those big name uni's look pretty plush. I already have a name brand school Master's degree, so getting admitted will be a doddle.

LaosLover Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I went to school. I did well. Life's been great. I'm going back to school -in a dead easy, super-friendly place. And I'm going to do well. Again. Don't hate me, be me. At the Master's level, that's where you really get to just coast and pretty much study just whatever you want. I specifically put in "name brand master's degree" to elicit a response from that specific contributor. Fish, barrel, shoot.

LaosLover Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I read the terms of service. You can gas on forever offering up only sullen and incomprehensible resentment, but I'm not really allowed to make fun of you back. I can live with that. I'm always a surprised at how little the average poster here is interested in the rich culture here. It's like moving to France for the French fries. To be able to gain insight via academics -and great voices such as yourself- is a literal life time dream come true for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more likely to have met Elvis -or a hi-so- than a CEO, tho I did once work closely with a production assistant on the film, Money Train. Unless you really, really want to see a specific kind of subway car -designed for the film, Money Train- I can't really recco the film, Money Train. Tho Rosie Perez was lovely at a meet and greet. My critical Money Train support was the highlight of a plush life mostly writing interesting subway reports that no one ever read. And now I'm going on to milk the student visa process writing some thesis's that no one will ever read. It's what I do. It's who I am -an intellectual grifter looking for a soft perch. You've met the CEO's, not me. Again, terms of service prohibits me from commenting on brit-osphere class neurosis and its deeply comic side.
