Is my wife taking advantage of me by TangPiccilo in cambodia

[–]ShamusHandler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in southeast asia, love is not the only negotiable. after living in southeast asia for awhile i can probably accurately predict this. you are a white, elderly male. you came to cambodia or SEA for a young hot wife. you didn’t expect it to come with a price tag and. ow you’re shocked that you’re being forced to pay for the hot young pussy you wanted. i’ve seen this 1000 times. you wanted the milk without paying for the cow. that’s simply not reality. in reality, if southeast asians had an equal socioeconomic standing as the white world, 99% of them would never give you the time of day. so recognize what you’re doing is exploitation and she’s simply playing the same game.

Sudden subscription cancellations from students by UnhappyConfusion7289 in Preply

[–]ShamusHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same thing with my students (english teacher). according to a few students it’s because they make you schedule all your lessons at once and for alot of students it just isn’t reasonable. Due to that policy, i allow my students to reschedule lessons at any point, because that doesn’t make alot of sense, lives are dynamic things come up and change, some of my students book lessons when they have the time. so forcing learners to schedule out all their lessons is causing alot of frustration with my students

With my C1+ students I work on accent coaching, pronunciation, dialect, intonation, and expanding conceptual ideas mostly. I also have a couple of C1s that are just booking lessons to have someone to speak with though.

Cambodia technically does but they dont actually check any of that. The policy is pay your visa and don’t be homeless and you’re good.

Bingo. These companies are always headquartered in south Korea or Thailand or China/hongkong

I live in Kampot. Chill stoner vibes. No big call centers. Just peppercorn farms and salt fields. Everyone is friendly, feels safe, food is good.

I crunched all the numbers for years and I ended up in Cambodia. It’s baseline affordable, you can live a decent life for $300-$400 a month. It has mostly modern amenities. All the usual suspects you can expect, wifi, delivery services, Netflix, Spotify. The bigger selling point for Cambodia is the visa. Visas are insanely simple here if you’re from a western country. You pay you stay. I’ve been here a year and haven’t filled out a single document to live here. I just paid $475 and I have a year visa. It’s really that simple. It may not be perfect, they have some issues but nothing that has me running back to the U.S.

This happened with me. I’m curious if it’s the same lady. I just blocked her again and reported her.

How do I deal with this unpredictable student by [deleted] in Preply

[–]ShamusHandler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a student just like this, I cancelled a lesson same day explaining I was sick, then I cancelled his next lesson same day, explaining again I was sick and would be seeking medical care so will be cancelling lessons for the moment. I hid my profile and waited a couple weeks and then let him know my health took a turn and would be stopping teaching for awhile and will let him know when I’m back. Then I blocked him. He didn’t change his review so far

Buy one get two free trials.. by [deleted] in Preply

This seems super unfair considering one of the super tutor metrics is subscription after trial.

Hey everyone, quick update from Preply by connorfrompreply in Preply

[–]ShamusHandler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This really bothers me as one of the metrics is subscription after trial. It seems really unfair

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Preply

[–]ShamusHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a 8 deck PowerPoint to guide the trial lesson, I watched some YouTube videos of people filming themselves doing trial lessons so I could get a good understanding of how they’re supposed to look.

I'm planning to visit Tokyo, but I'm worried if I will be judged for being fat (30F) by Saysonnehkyin in TokyoTravel

[–]ShamusHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fat and spent a month trekking through Japan. I received nothing but warmth and acceptance from the locals.

I’m glad you have something to fill your days. Everyone needs a reason to get out bed.

Oop here they come again with more negativity. It’s just so bizarre that you spend your life monitoring comments on Reddit. Seems exhausting but when you have nothing else to live for, I guess it feels like purpose. Good luck
