how does one get to be a director at 22 ( as it was before)
why go from director to teaching
strange

I think it's not a director in the sense that you or I might think of the position. As far as I am aware he was director of the Global Peace Exchange which is a student led organisation at Florida State University and according to their site:phuketrichard wrote:Anchor Moy wrote:Right.

Global Peace Exchange is a student-run, non-profit organization located at Florida State University. Global Peace Exchange (GPE) connects undergraduate students with grassroots NGOs in developing countries. The goals of GPE are to provide real-world, educational experiences to students, while also providing helpful services to NGOs in need of resources.

Yep, I think you're right. My condolences to the family. Sadly, it's yet another example of why inexperienced riders and newbies to the kingdom should avoid riding motorcycles.

Same here, I've ridden a scooter for years in both Auckland and Sydney. I use motodops regularly here but still not sure I want to ride one myself.

I've had many more near death experiences on Melbourne roads than on Phnom Penh roads.
Highway riding here is a whole other thing.

Really sad to hear this. I went to middle school and a little bit of high school with Corey. We were friends at the time and from the little bit I recall he was a really funny, great guy. I'm currently teaching in Korea and recently heard about this and it breaks my heart. I'm not religious, but rest easy man. I hope you're busy exploring whatever comes after this!
