Healthcare doesn't have to cost you an arm, a leg or a hip
As the debate continues in the US about a national healthcare plan versus our current cumbersome system, how about looking elsewhere? Why wait for someone else to dictate your future? You have many options if you’re willing to take a vacation. If recovering from a medical procedure while lying on a palm swept beach, relaxing by the hotel pool or shopping for terrific bargains sounds good, then read on. |

The ABC’s of Teaching ESL in Taiwan
There I was sitting on my barstool drinking a properly drawn Guinness at my favorite watering hole on O'ahu, resting my sixty-three year old bones, when into the pub strolls my old buddy Nathan, who has been sequestered at a college in Taiwan teaching English for the past two and a half years. After several Guinnesses and catching up, the conversation turns to teaching English in Taiwan.
“You should come over and find a job. It’s real easy work and there are plenty of jobs to be had.” |

Vassa, The Buddhist Lent
Most of us have some aspect of our personality or our life that we wish to change. We want to lose weight, quit smoking, save money, or develop the discipline to meditate daily and heal our minds. Some people wish to become less materialistic and to appreciate the simple things in life. Our biggest holidays, Christmas and Thanks Giving (and Chanuka) are good opportunities to overeat, overindulge, overspend, over-consume, and overdo. |

The Last Wave
I went fishing with my friend Evan yesterday. Evan has been knocking around Asia since the Boxer Rebellion, building roads and bridges and oil fields and whatever needed to be built, having lots of wives and lots of kids and a few bouts of malaria on the way. I think he was born in Australia, but he left there a boy, probably stowed away on The Beagle, so his accent now sounds like a South African raised by a Filipina nanny in Cornwall. He swears in Vietnamese, and sings dirty songs in French. He's a shameless racist and one of the nicest men I know. |

Sex Change Capital in Bangkok, Thailand
After a former U.S. Army corporal became a grandfather, he stopped secretly wearing women's clothes, flew to Bangkok for a sex change operation and emerged as a lesbian. "I heard about Bangkok from the Internet. My daughter found it for me," Sherri Ann Higgins, 56, said in an interview while recovering from surgery in a Bangkok hospital." The price was reasonable. And what I liked about Bangkok is there was only a one-month waiting list, whereas in the U.S. there is at least eight months to wait to have the change." |

The Thailand Report
Thailand's reputation as a holiday paradise and exotic, colourful and freewheeling country is well deserved. The rapidly growing Thai economy, sunny climate, and bargain property prices are just a few reasons for the influx of expatriates to the area. As the economy recovers business opportunities abound for the astute and well-informed investor. |

The Armpits of Southeast Asia
They call us farang, and they say the worst thing about us is that we have absolutely no patience. Perhaps the person I am most impatient with on this trip is myself, followed closely by my friend Melissa, who is my traveling partner. Melissa is only half farang, and only half as impatient as me. She introduces herself as a leuk-kreung, which translates literally as “half-kid”. We are drawing a lot of looks out here in the northeast of Thailand, Melissa with her half-kid face and western clothes and me with my shockingly light hair and blue eyes. We read in our guide books not to be surprised by people staring, but until coming to this part of Thailand, we had not strayed far enough from the beaten track to draw much attention. |

The Babysitter
When they excavated the ruins of Pompeii in 1748, the archeologists made plaster casts of the impressions that the dying citizens of that city made in the soft ash as it smothered them. While the inevitable couples locked in intercourse have since garnered most of the world’s notice, to me the most poignant image has always been that of a young girl caught by the toxic snowfall in the act of running with an infant in her arms. |
