I am taking gsjackson's suggestion about drugs

[MrMan]

I used to drive a truck too. Not very long ago, in fact. I much preferred staring at a road over staring at a computer screen. It wasn't bad for the most part, but I did have my wife with me, so it made things a lot easier.

Do you think someone with years of missing work history can get that kind of job if he just went and got his license?

BTW, nice write-up about TEFL in Asia. I dabbled in TEFL once before. Are you naturally an extroverted person? What you say about your students not hardly saying a word, kind of made me laugh. That would be extremely uncomfortable for most people. In my TEFL certificate course they taught us that we should teach class with an 80/20 method, where the students should be producing English 80% of the time, and you should only be explaining things 20% of the time. Still though, I taught some teenagers in South America, and they often would be too shy to speak up. The guys were kind of goofs, which is probably the same in most cultures. The girls were great though. They were so respectful, and I could tell they almost always tried to impress me. The best thing was to get them to do group work, and then I just hovered around and corrected the occasional mistake from time to time.

Korean schools trained the students to sit there and be quiet. Getting them to talk was like pulling teeth. I had them 'pass the baton', giving another student a marker, obligating them to speak or answer a question during the 'Free Talking' class. One of the teachers told me never have 'free talking' as they call the type of class there. Always have a plan and material to stimulate discussion. Having them repeat fill-in-the-blank dialogues out of Side-by-Side was wrote and kind of boring, but really helped their grammar. Mixing that up with something more fun and higher level is good for Koreans, IMO.

Indonesians are more active. They act a little more like US high school students, except they seem to have more comradery, crack jokes-- but generally without being disrespectful or out of control. The classes were more fun. I'm glad I am out of language teaching. That's hard-- teaching people to get them to talk with correct grammar, etc. It's a lot easier to lecture with subject matter and have students do projects. I teach, but not English.

Another thing that may have changed, at least when the class is larger than a certain number.

I'm not sure how old this article is, but it says,

The Korean public education structure is divided into three parts: six years of primary school, followed by three years of middle school and then three years of high school. In 1996 only about five percent of Korea's high schools were coeducational. The proportion of coeducational schools has increased by almost ten percent. However, classes in many coeducational high schools are still divided along gender lines. The curriculum is standardized so now both boys and girls study technology and domestic science.

I am a terrible driver for a car in America and get anxiety driving a car because I am afraid of accidents. America has very orderly driving compared to some other nations.

If I tried driving in the capitals of other nations then I would be more than anxious.

If I even attempted to drive a bus or a truck, I would hit several cars then be fired. That's why I can't do truck driving (anywhere). Driving in straight lines and low traffic or light traffic with a small car or a sedan style car, I can manage.

If I attempted to drive a truck or a bus, I would be fired in a day for causing massive damage because I am a terrible driver. If I am not great with a car then I would be terrible at anything larger than a car.

I could probably drive a motorscooter like a Vespa or a Yamaha better than a car in a city but not in rain or snow or high traffic.

If you’re scared of getting in an accident and struggle with the skills to drive a car, I wouldn’t be attempting to ride anything with two wheels. I rode a bike for 7 years to work and weekly I’d have to take action to avoid drivers who didn’t see me. Twice I wasn’t quick enough and wrote my bike off. Luckily I wasn’t seriously injured. If you’re sensible and have skills a higher powered bike is a lot safer than a low powered scooter. IMO 50% of the time you need fast acceleration to avoid accidents.

I can drive but not that well. I was also never able to parallel park.

I have been in a few accidents but never with a person. The worst was hitting an object and the damages were at least several thousand for repairs but I didn't need to pay. One had really bad damages and I received some minor injuries but it wasn't my car that I was driving so it didn't impact me.

Getting into an accident isn't the issue. It's getting into an accident with my car and needing to pay for repairs, or getting into an accident with another person's car. I don't have money for insurance or repairs or really much of anything.

If anyone wanted me to drive a truck, even if I was on a training field, I would still end up hitting an object and causing at least damages to the truck alone and probably a tree or side of a building or a post.

By bike, I assume that means a motorcycle?

@Tsar You've indicated your desire to commit criminal acts on this forum. I've decided not to contact any police department about you. However, if someone PM's me with a request of your i.p. address, depending on who they are I may be inclined to give it to them.

Can you imagine the police knocking on your door and bringing you down the the station for questioning?

Also, I suggest you watch Locked Up Abroad on YT. You do not want to be locked up in a foreign prison, especially Mexico.

Give them a supposed IP address. You're threats don't intimidate or scare me.

@Voyager1

Do it you stupid monkey man! I'm not afraid of you and I never had any real respect for you! You're a failure of a man and a microcosm of "America wants to police the world!"

Do it! I really want you to and you will see how much you get laughed at! You're a joke!

[Tsar]

@Voyager1 He's like a mangy dog that's all bark and no bite. He is even stupid enough to believe he's a vigilante and even more stupid to believe everything he sees on the internet. He'll be laughed at if he even attempted anything.

LoL

[Tsar]

Voyager1 should get a comic because he thinks he's a vigilante superhero. His superpower? Find IP addresses and post them online. His calling? "Police the World" on his voyage to make his worldview the view everywhere in the World.

In reality, he's just a guy sitting in a basement somewhere America that thinks that other countries care about the delusional ideas of obtaining greatness that random people might post online.

The world isn't America! Other countries have better things to spend their money and resources on.

Voyager1 is also delusional enough to think other countries care about a fantastical idea of someone starting a drug business.

I do it without paying prostitutes.

Social parasite.

[Tsar]

I'm a success not a failure. I get young women 20-21 years in age. I am more than double their age and I do it without paying prostitutes.

I have a normal belt count. I search for quality over quantity.

You might get young women but they're probably obese American girls! Normal notch count doesn't matter if the notches aren't worth anything! And by quality, I assume you are referring to low quality!

You don't have the traits to get the thin beautiful 20-21 year olds in America without paying! Everyone knows almost no American girls would date more than 5 older. College girls in America mainly want college guys or sugar daddies. But I guess you're the exception to America's social norms with dating

You couldn't get a prostitute legally in America and for a "vigilante superhero" like you, you couldn't even get an erection if you took 100mg of Viagra because your "code" would override your physiological reactions. Everything you do has to be legal and obey Your Masters (the American Elites, the American Jewry, the American Atheists, and the pompous old Zionist American Christians with stupid hypocritical useless ideas).

I propose Voyager1 stop playing superhero and focus on his women. But maybe his "women" are transwomen and that explains why he takes breaks. His ass needs recovery time after being destroyed by big tranny dick!
