When you're smiling

When you're smiling. The whole world smiles with you. Doesn't anyone teaching here have a great story that they want to share with other readers? Surely the whole Thailand teaching population didn't get stiffed out of its flood pay? Surely not everyone works for a terrible school or a horrible boss or wants to go teach in China because they've had enough of this godawful place? Someone put a smile on our faces - please! Tell us about the school finance officer who rowed through two metres of crocodile-infested floodwater to make sure you received your monthly salary in your hand. Or what about the academic director who called you on the phone every day to make sure you were still alive and assured you that you would be paid in full as soon as the floodwaters subsided. Come on guys! - those stories must be out there. Thailand's a wonderful country to live and work in.
