Three Kiwis and three Aussies are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three Aussies each buy tickets and watch as the three Kiwis buy only a single ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an ...
That was quite hilarious. It seems all you need is a neighboring country to start cracking jokes at their expense. French likes to crack jokes about Belgians and the same jokes are made on the other side about french. Only the nationality changes x) Read More
Musician wages in Thailand by drewbarron
Hi, I'm a semi retired musician moving shortly to Thailand for the winter. I might do a few gigs while I'm there but I don't know how much to charge. I don't want to insult anyone. Any advice? Cheers Drew

Dear All, just would like to know how much you pay for your Maebaan/Maid in Bangkok. I pay THB 500,-- twice a week. She does cleaning, dishes and washing and ironing of clothes. Each time she stays for approx 3 hours. Brgds Kai
