 French Impressions Part 3
By Christel Detsch
|
| |
The age of politeness is over. Little girls don’t make a curtsy anymore, little boys don’t bow, men don’t kiss the hands of women or lift a hat in greeting. Maybe it all went out the door with Marie Antoinette and Louis XI and all the nobility whose heads were chopped off in the French Revolution. Or maybe it happened during the sixties when people stormed the barricades again and little girls gave up their right to special treatment. However, this is not a French phenomenon. It’s universal.

 A Year of Teaching English in Thailand
By Elayne Clift
|
| |
I arrive in Chiang Mai, Thailand’s second largest city, where my new home in suburban Land and Houses Park is sweet, light and airy. It has tile floors and a traditional outdoor kitchen with two gas burners, a temperamental microwave and a sink. I shop at Carrefours for a crockpot, a toaster, a coffeepot and a wok. I open an account at Siam Commercial Bank, arrange a rental car and visit the university where I will teach. Read more>> |

 A Guide to Homologizing Your Car
By Mark Dillen
|
| |
Our tale begins in Moscow, early in this century. My wife and I, American expats working in Russia, were buying a house on the sunny, Mediterranean coast of Croatia. At that time, before a much-heralded “reform,” a foreigner wishing to buy real estate in far-away Croatia had to begin by sending an application to the Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the capital city of Zagreb.

The onset of the "Oh-no-it's-a-recession" panic caused a lot of would-be travelers and potential expatriates to Mexico to put a screeching halt to not only their plans to take a trip down to my neck of the Mexican woods but they've also stopped their research. This is what most of us who have made this magnificent transition have done – research. Read more>> |

 Honey: A Cure Ancient and Modern
Honey is a sweet, amber coloured fluid derived from the nectar of flowers and produced by honey bees - records show that man started collecting honey some 10,000 years ago.
Honey gets its sweetness from fructose and glucose and is used as a sugar replacement in cooking and baking, as well as a spread for bread and toast, and a topping for desserts and yoghurt.
And, contrary to popular myth, bears don’t eat honey! Read more>> |

Living and Teaching English in Thailand
By Ken Bayliss
By Morgan Freeman |
 In this book there’s information that could take you years of frustration, and lots of wasted money to achieve. This is not for those who want to retire and drink sundowners on the balcony and get slowly sozzled every night. This is for people who want and need to work to survive; albeit in a nice way and not having to struggle or scrimp and save.
For those readers who have never been there, Thailand is not paradise, it has it faults. I’ll point out as many problems as I can. Then you can either avoid them or not be too surprised when you encounter them. That said, it’s still a wonderful place to live.
Thai people are some of the best in the world. The sun shines most of the year and, the people genuinely smile a LOT. They can be the most polite people, are very religious and the children are charming. The living is easy and the people there are often easygoing and expect everyone to be the same. They live life in the now, and let tomorrow go hang. But then, that’s why you are reading this. Go there>> |
