When was the last time that you spoke with a foreigner?
Last spoke with a farang yesterday - a short 2-3 minute chat. I prefer to chat with some Thais, they seem more interesting than the constantly complaining expats I frequently encounter. -

Fresh Spinach (Tops)
About 3 weeks ago a round black kidney stone smaller than a BB blocked my ureter (tube from kidney to bladder). At times the pain was excruciating. Do your best to avoid kidney stones... drink plenty of water to keep the concentration of calcium and oxalates in your urine lower and add some lemon/lime juice to your drinking water. -

When was the last time that you spoke with a foreigner?
What does a pothead seem to be like? All those I've ever known were amicable, happy people who like to be sociable. Many locals are potheads also, and most I've seen are drinkers. Hard to tell who are nutters until they go off, and many of the most dangerous types aren't drug or alcohol users but unstable already. -

Is English being taught in the Thai schools?
I've seen about 100 teachers with little or no experience attempt to teach. I'm sure 90% had their heart in the right place, but almost none had proper training, and it just seems like a business. Some only played YouTube, some showed a movie, some did nothing, some smoked at school and got fired, some were hungover, some were way too quiet, some had no clue, some just gave them papers to do without talking, some........is this teaching English? nope. The good ones always left. lol Most are there for the visa. It's either a native or non-native speaker in the classroom, that's it. Evaluation? Nah. Just show up on time, and take a good picture. Babysitter is the best way to describe it, because if the kids aren't happy, they will complain. Nobody complains if the teacher lets them do whatever they want. Yeah, maybe it's different in the International schools; however, I'm sure it's not that different. The international teachers get triggered when you tell them that maybe 1 out of 300 kids are good enough in English to study abroad. Numbers don't lie......English competency is extremely low, turnover is super high, and pay is very low.
