Re: First post, need info regarding teaching
This is the one I was about to start doing: http://tesols.com/courses/ I found a special on a coupon site offering 150 hours online for 79 dollars. I can still get a refund for it. Just a couple of closing thoughts. I checked the site. Who are they accredited by? The answer appears to be; nobody. A...

Re: First post, need info regarding teaching
Because I found this one http://teflchiangmai.com/ Be wary of any franchise that uses pretty girls to sell you something that is in no way related to pretty girls. It usually means their product is shit and that this is their way of enticing you. There must be thousands (??) of TEFL/TESOL/CELTA cou...

Re: First post, need info regarding teaching
I guess it depends on how serious you were about this. I mean, is this just a way to fund your travelling for a few years or could this be the start of a new teaching career? Will you be visiting other countries or is Cambodia it at the moment? Personally, I would spend a little more on a respected,...

Re: First post, need info regarding teaching
Hi I'm 21 years old, about to do a 150 hour online TESOL certificate... Why online? How many hours in (real) classes? Most non-online TEFL courses will give you experience as you study. Is it a relatively safe country? (as I don't believe what I read on some outdated sites) Funny old word that; rel...

Re: Standard Cambodian scams?
Any chance of some sample real scams on this thread, now my naivity has been laid bare? lol. Hmmm scams, eh? Well, every time I move out of an apartment I get 100% of my deposit back, in full and on the day I move out without the landlord/lady even checking the apartment. Compare that to the UK whe...

Re: Standard Cambodian scams?
During the contract signing the landlady said that she had to pay the moto driver $175 commission. It then transpires that the her usual rate is $300 a month but the moto driver told her to hike the rent and then he would take $175. So in effect I am paying the commission not the landlady. I'm sure...

Re: Best ISP in PP?
With Digi here (1Mbps). Nearly a year and service has been very reliable. The few times I've had to call tech support (couple of session hangs on their end) they were impressively competent, spoke English well and got the issues sorted quickly. All protocols run well; web, skype, gaming, torrents. E...

Re: "Buy me a phone."
.....if you've got the money you spend it to help those you love be happy. That's what love is about. Agree. It's amazing though that some people here don't seem to understand that. Too depraved to see a difference between love and sex. If you've paid any money for anything, you've paid for sex. Sa...

Re: WHERE DO I GO NOW FOR FREE DOWNLOADS?
Isn't that illegal? Bittorrent is a completely legal and very innovative method of sharing data. The copyrighted media is illegal to share without paying for it. The law is on all this is being firmed up as it is still a bit of a grey area. It is still legal to make backups (copies) of media you ha...

Re: Out of the mouths of students
...One brave student exclaims "teacher, monks are bad people!"... He cocks his head and thinks a moment and then says "the Police." Again, laughter erupts and I say "no, the dentist". I remember first trying to explain keywords such as morality, reverence and peaceful (along with other related term...

Disk brakes a must. Basket optional :D If you have one, or know someone wanting to offload one, please post here or P...

Re: PS3 - most bang for the buck?
It would be interesting to see how other consoles compare, and in particular it would have been interesting to see the PS1 and PS2 on there to map the progression. Also, it's listed the PS3 as a "portable device", which it's not. Another note is that it's difficult to get a good idea of this progres...

Re: Going to rangoon soon
I'm in Yangon at the mo and the internet speed isn't too bad here, 100Mbps . Are you sure about that? That is fast for Europe/US. I think you mean 1Mbps? Thats what it said at the bottom of the screen. It was quick that day. The next day however it was rubbish! It depends on your setup, but that 10...
