Honey, Didn't you mother ever tell you you're not supposed to feed the Mongo's?
Someone forgot to inform your mother...

TEFL course for £65 http://www.groupon.co.uk/
Might be of intrest to Spade an a few others. Gotta be quick tho!
I agree, but to do a course that gives you actual classroom experience will run you a couple of grand - and besides it could never really prepare you for teaching in another culture where you don't speak the lingo and are way out of your comfort zone anyway.
Tbh i'm not sure i'd ever use it, I had a win on the horses seen this and it was an impulse buy. I think its good tho, will look decent in a CV along with a photoshopped picture of me surrounded by a load of similing Japanese dudes.
I really want to go and do this

Volunteer work with the Cambodia Bunong Hill Tribe. Sounds amazing. I want to go for 3 months, the cost to volunteer before flights is £1155, Flights are about £700, add another £1000 on for the 3 months living expenses at max, not sure how much a visa and insurance is, but that could be done for under £3000.
Would love to go live and help out with a remote tribe, is a shame that they expect the tribal way of life to be gone within a generation though![]()
I think that this has to be in my thoughts for travelling before South America to be honest as there might not be another chance to do something like this in a few years time.
Id say that would be a good experience. Ive been to Thailand and Laos a couple of times and the North is class. Never made it to Cambodia though. Not to sure how i'd feel about paying to volunteer though. Great if you've got the cash, but I couldn't afford it. I think teaching would be a great gig, really is 'the land of smiles' (and benzo's and lady boy's and corrupt cop's - but thats another story).
I want to sell solar paneling in Melbourne, the cash is great. I was doing a Msc in sustainable technologies but had to drop out (got high and blew £3k of fees at cards- rough night) Still have all the course materials and a letter from my tutor. Im just in the process of patching together as many lies as plausible in order to get my foot in the door. After that want to head to South America.
Futures so bright need shades!![]()
the payment for the volunteering is basically to fund your accomodation, the teaching you to do things to help and other stuff out there, you cant just turn up and expect to get a free ride. I am considering maybe after christmas trying to convince my boss to let me go to cambodia and do it for 4 or 5 weeks using my annual leave, then come back and save up again for my big south and north america trip where I wouldn't actually come back. Or I could go away and do 4 or 5 weeks things like this every year. I think I need to take a longer break though, over 6 months away.
Going to Cambodia and living with a semi-nomadic hill tribe and helping them out for a month or so sounds ideal though, especially if it means I could keep my job and then come back to save up for a bigger trip in the future
I'm getting all excited now and I have only just started thinking about it, lol, classic Mugz
How are you anyway Kate? Well I hope. We have a new fluffy addition to the family I know you'd love. A cute grey baby bunnie named Lickety. She's so cuddly! I've really missed chatting to you. Hope all is well in the Kate family.Sending you loads of PLUR!
I'm just not your biggest fan because your hitchhiking thread highlighted your terrible patter and how sensitive you got about crackhead not meeting you.
So you keep track of people on bluelight and rate them for quality?
Clearly Mugabe isn't one you rate highly. Who would you say your top 5 bluelighters are, why, and what would you do for them?
Or you are just a bit of a prick.
Evening SadieAwww post a pic of the new bunny, sounds sweet as hell - is she a house-rabbit? Our kitten is 8 1/2 weeks and I'd forgotten what it's like having a baby in the house, he's a non stop bundle of energy n' joy. Big kittie is just about getting over him.
All ticking over here, usual stresses, no point moaning about it though! Never changes anything I find...moaning that is well unless it's PMT but then that's a requirement lol. How's life treating you honey?
I'm all for a bit of drama but it puts me off coming here when it's just nasty for the sake of itI miss Spade too :D

She's a star. She's gotten really close with me. She love just cuddling up and having a snooze. So adorable.
Spade is still around, not that I've got to know him, juts posted the odd insult as it seems to be critical for ongoing membership of the board (sorry Spade have been I bit of a sheep on that one)
Life's okay. Yeah, I'm not all into the aggro. Some douche just fancied being a bit of a prick. Lame really.
Anyway, here's Lickety
