Re: How Easy is it to move to Cambodia?
But prior to taking that job, can you please sort them out with elocution lessons? I pity the Cambodian students who will end up speaking English with a broad SA accent!Interviews with at least three schools for a teaching job

Re: How Easy is it to move to Cambodia?
Rozz, I think your OP was well-written. Early last year I found myself living in Mauritius for a few months (between leaving Laos and returning to Thailand). There were many South Africans who were either settled in Mauritius or were on the island to obtain residency there. I was issued with an annu...

Re: Headlines Burma ( yes Aung san says you can say Burma)
When I was in Yangon last September, the bank ATMs no longer worked (not that they had ever been that reliable!). I'm returning in late July to Mandalay and my employer has to arrange to pay me directly into my Thai bank account because it is no longer safe to be paid in USD cash (as I used to be) b...

Re: The utter minefield of health insurance.
Thanks for the advice. I think you may have got lucky there. According to the government website, in order to qualify for free NHS treatment after living abroad, you have to show evidence that you have moved back to the UK on a permanent basis, such as a rental agreement for your address and domest...

Re: The utter minefield of health insurance.
... A lot of policies say they can repatriate you back to your home country if need be, but as far as the UK is concerned, citizens no longer have the right to free health care if they've lived outside of the country for a certain length of time. I'm well over that period so this is of no use to me...

Re: The utter minefield of health insurance.
I'm not in Cambodia, but have been based in Thailand for 22 years and then mostly working in Myanmar. So I have always looked for a medical insurance policy that will medivac me back to Thailand for urgent treatment. Some advice: - Do not choose a local company because usually they can substantially...

Re: Are you looking for work
How do you teach Science with no lesson plans? Actually I can! But that is only because I have taught almost 7,000 science lessons online and countless more thousands in the classroom. So I'm a walking mine of scientific information. Mere mortals might struggle to teach science effectively without ...

Re: Have you experienced bad air turbulence? (video)
I experienced very bad air turbulence about 25 years ago when flying over the Pyrenees mountains from Spain to France (Tarbes Airport). This was a Twin Otter plane. Everyone else on board started praying. I sat at the back and decided that there was nothing I could do, so I opened another can of bee...

Re: Boom! There go 18000 cows!
Some simple maths suggests that this is bollox. Say a cow is 50cm wide (0.5m) and 2 metres long. So that area is 1 square metre. So 18,000 cows equals a total area of 18,000 square metres (unless they are stacked on top of each other). 18,000 square metres is equal to a square with each side 134 met...
