quit thai school...

i quit my thai school last week.
i've done enough english teaching to know when the teacher is just rocking up with no preparation, no idea of what we've covered so far, and a general half-assed approach tot he whole thing. finding things out meant that i had to DIG - i mean, i want to be taught - not struggle to find out what i want to know.
so no more of that thai school for me.
this means that i now have no reason to leave the house all week - although i've been out every day this week - unusual for lazy, lazy me...
the reason most foreigners here get good at speaking thai quickly is that they go and chat to the "hostesses" at the go-go bars - but as i don't, my thai doesn't progress...no wonder my japanese got so good so quickly!

and you know what's wierd? most japanese men i know have a massive "language complex" - they can't speak english at all - but here, with the incentive of becoming "charisma man" in the go-go bar scene - they all learn thai really, really quickly.
go figure...
