Thanks for your advice silverboy, I'm working away at it, hammering away at the emails for jobs, a place to stay at least will make all the difference.

I am not a big bar guy, and I don't smoke, so I do try and save.

Thanks for the supportive post!

I spose one should stay away from bars- on the other hand, my habit in the orient has been, if I look in the window or poke my head around the door and see some foreigners, and I need to know something, I rudely break into their conversation- could lead to a job. The last time I did it I wanted to know where the degrees for sale were and they knew- that was in Thailand.

I was also touched by SB's post- tears were streaming down my face when he declared himself as one of the few who could help- then commencing a monologue to explain why he wouldn't- namely you might not repay-hahaha what a card.
