li12na, allt verkar vara sagt i den här tråden. Det jag kan bidra med är några punkter rörande något som kallas WBU – Water Buffalo University. Tyvärr på engelska, men det är väl inga problem!

The WBU, is a highly revered educational facility here in Thailand
(see BUTFOE’S), The cariculum of which is very varied, but includes:

a. Wealth management

b. Human relationships

c. Thai culture

d. Buffalo health

e. The study of the virus strain commonly known as jasmin fever

f. Psycology

g. Family welfare

The above is just a sample of the many courses available.

The course duration is flexable, depending on the students learning ability,
but normally is not less than 5 years, students normally have a number of tuitors, due to complexity of the subjects.

There is a number of campuses, most of which, are situated close to the complex.

Course fees are usually agreed directly with the tuitors(credit cards welcome)

“Many foreigners come to Thailand and discover the Pattaya campus. A lot of middle-aged gentleman go for an induction in an office (bar) and are invited to relax while an interview is carried with 1-2 Thai tutors (Young pretty tutor and the dean or Mamasan in Thai). Tutors are primarily from the Isaan region, aged between 19-25 and are believed to be more adept at educating the foreigner in matters pertaining to family and bovine health. During this induction the foreigner is invited to buy the tutor some refreshment, which is usually triple the price of a student drink. When the tutor establishes the financial status of her potential student she may take a brief break from studies and introduce him to the PE (physical education) module of the course. This can include sports such as ping-pong ball shooting and marathon bouts of hide the salami. In between bouts the tutor may take her student on day trips to shopping malls and request gold in lieu of cash for module 1 and 2 of the course. The tutor can also produce an antique mobile/cellular phone and complain how bad it is encouraging her student to purchase a new Nokia N70 with camera, MP3 and GPRS enabling her to navigate back to her farm. After a few more games of hide the salami the student is educated further about Isaan family life and how the tutor must take care family she. A heart-wrenching story is usually told bringing tears to the eye of the student who cannot bear it any longer and feels the urge to help his tutor. The tutor wipes a tear from the eye of the student and reassures him that as soon as she raises enough cash her sister can be freed from the Si-Saket mafia, her brother can have a new Honda Wave enabling him to catch up on his studies… “He no go school, he want go to school too much… Can you help he? He is 28 years old now.” Papa can have the tractor fixed and the buffalo can have his life saving operation.

The tutor then asks the way to the nearest ATM and is duly deemed to be the latest student of the… WATER BUFFALO UNIVERSITY”.
