I think Thaialnd is better because the money I make is 1 million in yen PPP wise.
But Japan is better for the girls as Thai girls are stuck in a time-warp fashion and makeup wise.
The food in Thailand is way better.
The weatehr in Thailand is way better.
And the job is so easy, Im working in a univeristy and I dont even have an MA and the students are pretty dumb andhave rally bad pronunciation. I only teach 20 hours a week but get 200.000 yen in salary.
In Japan I was making 299.000 yen working 7 days a week no savings etc..
So apart from the girls with leggings and denim hot pants and digital curls I prefer thaialand what about you guyjins?
And please leave the jealous comments behind everyone can see most of you are jealouse because I have the guts to move on. |

Well to be fair to the OP, the cheese is much better value in Thailand than Japan. You can get some good quality stuff there for half the price that I pay in Osaka.
But where he gets the idea that 200k in Thailand is equal to 1m here I don't know. Even with the yen at its current level and the baht at it's current relative strength I would say that Japan is only twice as expensive as Thailand.
And uni works tends to pay 28k baht a month (100kyen) NOT 200k. |

I have never tried cheese from Thailand.
I'm starting to find more cheese on Japanese supermarket shelves which is great as I have a fondness for many types of cheese. |

Here we go again!
| Quote: |
There was a merchant from Arabia, so the story goes, way back in the mists of history, who put his day's supply of milk into a pouch made of a sheep's stomach. He hoisted himself upon his camel and clip-clopped over the desert. The beast's ambling movement, the residual rennet of the sheep-stomach pouch, and the hot sun did the rest. That evening, the first drink of whey quenched the nomad's thirst--and his hunger was satisfied by the curd.
Cheese was born. |
And that was over 5000 years ago, so they reckon. |

Thailand vs. Japan?
No doubt about it. Japan would win four-nil.
Nihon would score three quick goals in the first half, put in their three substitute players at the beginning of the second half, and then get the fourth and final goal of the match around the 65th minute.
Anyone disagree?

Actually, this is ON topic. tiger just seems to want to enrage or infuriate people or just get a rise out of them. Standard definition of troll.
DNK,
If you have a question that requires an informative answer, please, by all means post it (in a separate thread, of course)! |

HARD CHEESE OF OLD ENGLAND
There's Cheddar and Cheshire and Lancashire too,
Leicester's bright orange and Stilton is blue.
It waxes so lyrical, what can you do but sing,
Oh the hard cheese of old England,
In old England very hard cheese.
Derby got green bits because of the sage,
And when it gets older its kept in a cage.
What does it hum when it reaches this age but,
They say double Gloucester is twicest as nice,
They say double Gloucester there, I've said it twice,
Its nice in potatoes but nicest in mice.
Those damn foreigners aren't worth a mention,
Old Gorgonzolas is renowned for it stenchen,
His brother Emil wrote novels in French and sing,
There's Swaledale and Wendslydale, Rutland to add,
Shropshire and Cornish you may not have had,
It's not bad on salads this ballad's not sad and sing,
My young love said to me my mother won't mind,
And my father once liked you for your lack of rind,
No cheese greater love for his food than mankind. |

Polite notice: Please don't feed the troll.

| Jesse the Bethlehemite, father of David, didn't realize he was sending his son to kill Goliath, a well known troll, when he told David on that fateful day: "Take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers; also take these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand" |

Cheese in the Bible
1 Samuel 17:17-19
Now Jesse said to his son David, "Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp. Take along these ten cheeses to the commander of their unit. See how your brothers are and bring back some assurance from them.
2 Samuel 17:26-29
The Israelites and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead. When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Makir son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim brought bedding and bowls and articles of pottery. They also brought wheat and barley, flour and roasted grain, beans and lentils, honey and curds, sheep, and cheese from cows' milk for David and his people to eat. For they said, "The people have become hungry and tired and thirsty in the desert."
Job 10:8-11
"Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me? Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again? Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese, clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews? |

The Chesdale song -
"We are the boys from down on the farm,
we really know our cheese
There's much better value in Chesdale, it never fails to please
Chesdale slices thinly, never crumbles, there's no waste
And boy it's got a mighty taste
Chesdale cheese - it's finest cheddar, made better!"
