All they want is a white face in the classroom so they can milk parents for their children's English Program This is extremely true. I remember how much was put into making the brochure and advert boards

They could do themselves a much better service by just being honest. Everyone that lives here and probably almost all of hte people that visit here are aware the prozzies are everywhere. It's a big part

There are only a couple of places in this country where the police actually do their jobs I'm afraid and those places have real trouble with a particular religious group that has for decades been trying

I don't think that most embassies, especially here anyway, actually do anything for their country's population. They are here for trade and something that benefits politicians.

Nice. I've had this to eat many times but never went out and caught them. You are hardcore!

I would say the police are rather non-responsive here as well. They don't really enforce any sort of traffic anything other than doling out fines that are clearly for revenue generation. I've never heard

I have seen some people that are clearly from Bangladesh or India working cons as well. I don't know these obvious work-permit-less people get away with it. They must pay off the cops or something.

Maybe I just lucky but my neighbors are so quiet I thought the unit was vacant for a while. Turns out they are just Korean.

plust you can't really put a price on the peace and quiet. IT is always noisy downtown.

man you are definitely correct about the touts. It's to the point where I actively avoid going to those places or will put on some giant headphones just be left alone.

I'm not really bothered by the smog times but I would like to get out in nature every now and then.
