THE NOODLEMAN TEACHES ENGLISH AT
PHRANAKHON RAJABHAT UNIVERSITY
"English Camp"
MARCH 2007

Main entrance to the University in Bangkok
View From My Hotel Window On Campus 		The 'English Camp' was held over the weekend on the Navy base at Satahip, Chonburi
Where We All Ate Lunch

The Navy was very attentive to our needs - 'Thank you' 'Cop con krop'
Students Enjoying Lunch 		The only problem for me was, I could not ask for 'No MSG' 'My sy pong chew lot' (My phonetic spelling)
The Food Served Was Delicious and Plentiful

Most of the students were women, because most Thai men do not study liberal arts
One of the Men's Tables 		Jim (left) was self indulging and negative, but was a ham when it came to being the MC at a couple of funtions. Jacques, from Canada, (center) was a delightful man, and my favorite faculty member. Tom (right) was apparently talented when it came to knowledge of grammar, but would be better suited as a mercenary in Iraq than a teacher of gentle youth! (Physicality and the threat of violence over intellect is always a big bullies' mode of operation) It was embarassing to watch him and a couple of other American faculty members get drunk on beer and use loud, vulgar language in front of these impressionable young students.
