Twitter and Facebook

I've made a Facebook page for myself at www.facebook.com/livinglaos. Everyone is welcome to become my friend (or "friend").

I generally hate Twitter and think it's a moronic tool for narcisists. However, after much inner grappling, I've decided to create an account. I think it's neat that I can post via SMS whenever I have some kind of insight or observation that doesn't warrant its own article. Or when I'm drunk or bored. Anyway, I promise not to write about any of the trivial bullshit that gives twitter a bad name. I realize that no one gives a shit what kind of salad dressing I'm using or if I'm going to buy a new DVD player. If I've configured everything correctly, you should be able to see my tweets (god, I hate that word) over here>>>
or you can subscribe directly at twitter.com/LivingLaos. I should start sending messages within a few days once I get my phone set up and everything configured.

PS, why are all my adsense ads for fucking dog training? What the hell keywords are making Google do that? (Yes, I realize I probably just made the problem worse)

Haha...Hey dude, just wanted to show you some comment support! I saw that you hadnt had any in a few posts. Dont worry, a lot of us are intereseted in Loas, so keep writing!

Whats up with the Teaching situatation there? Im trying to write a real estate book(dont worry, its legit and good), and sell it, myself to support myself in SE Asia, but its always good to know about the ESL backup situation. and to get more viewers, you can always exploit the locals and post some Lao T n' A! That is if it wont get you locked up..

Teaching is probably the next thing I'll write about. The short answer is either teach at one of the several international school (assuming you're qualified) and have a defined work week or and monthly salary or work for one of the many institutes and be constantly looking for more hours, having classes cancelled, not being able to control the kids, etc.
