Canada, 2009

The political tensions between the 'red shirts' and the 'yellow shirts' had me worried that a violent coup or civil war was not an unlikely outcome.

Food, people, scuba diving...and no snow.
Q6. Would you advise a new teacher to seek work in Thailand or where you are now?
Go anywhere but Canada. Things are in a bad way here now.

Yes, I'm hoping to return as soon as possible.

Hope to be back in time for Loi Krathong.
