[QUOTE]Originally posted by Exiiled: [QB] Just came back from hanging out downtown. We went there after midnight, lovely ambiance, traffic a non-issue, brought home authentic Thai food, was all good. I awoke so late and thought oh man Friday done, but having a ride it's a new dimension, the entire city opens up at any hour. So that's definitely cool. The alternative would have been taxis, which charge so much more after midnight because the public transport ceases at 11:55pm. My wife has a job well evolved into one :) :D Not a real job, but I'm supportive. She didn't initiate it. It started with one Arabian woman wanting my wife to tutor her in English several hours a week, now it's 2 women, and a third wants my wife to tutor her kids. I don't like to boast but my wife's English “drops down like a hammer”, well okay not in advanced way like teaching “O/A-Level/High School” kids but teaching Arabian women as well as elementary school kids (standard 1-6/elementary school) is no problem whatsoever, especially since she will be following their curriculum. We have like a dozen Arab families in our condo who are all well off with many children in international schools, so there's potential there, and all indications are that several Arab moms are interested in my wife teaching their kids. Currently they mostly have Indian tutors. I think it's a good thing, there are 24hrs per day, she can feel good doing something she likes, make some extra cash, build stronger bonds with our neighbors and community, so all around it has merit. Best thing is that it is in our condo building and will be limited to our building so transportation/traffic is not an issue. I think it's cool. It seems like they are comfortable with her and she knows that she has to be professional about it. So my 2 cents is “you know how arab are, they will pour coffee, tea, and all that courtesy and friendliness, but your responsibility is to improve their English, and that's what they ultimately expect.” Now...chilling. Drank couple beers downtown, bought home 5*640ml bottles of beer :D I'm chilling. [/QB][/QUOTE]
