I get a letter published in the Nation

A non-governmental organisation won a landmark victory on September 29 when a court ordered a halt to new petrochemical investments worth an estimated Bt400 billion (8 billion pounds). They say that environmental studies are not valid because the Thai law for dealing with industrial planning applications is not operating properly. These plants will produce a variety of products including many types of plastics. I decide to write to the papers and I get a letter published in the Nation, Thailand’s biggest business daily

Local parents have asked me to teach english to their children, so far I have four 13 year old boys on a Sunday morning, but fame is spreading and I have six this Sunday. We talk about boys stuff, cars , planes, bikes, sport and I try to put in some environmental stuff and gegraphical information - mainly Asean countries as they have only a little idea of Europe
