There's nothing like writing in one's skivvies that gets the words flowing. I miss the life, so enjoy it! ;-) Oh, and thanks for being part of my meager readership. I'll be spending the day sneakily reading your blog. :-D @Tinay: Hey, if I could go back to staying home and writing, I would.

The visits are much appreciated. :-D Hey, if you ever need a writing gig, let me or Chin know. We're always on the lookout for good writers. You might find yourself climbing the walls after the nth article on Germany, but it's good extra income. And yes, I do think you're a fab writer. ;-) @Lio: Why, thank you, Lio.

We've ghostwritten blogs, ezine articles, e-books - you name it, we've dunnit! All good fun. It's just too bad that the whole freelancing thing is much too volatile at the moment. Still, I haven't given it up or anything; I just added to it. :-D Jobs for foreigners are easier to come by in Thailand, probably because the people there spend most of their time chasing their own tails. Here, almost everyone speaks English and are fairly well-educated and skilled. There aren't a lot of opportunities for foreigners because Pinoys can often do the job better and cheaper. Still, jobs are available for those who seek. ;-) Oh, and thanks for still reading my blog! I don't know if anyone else does these days. LOL. @Vern: My friend and I started a writing service, and we’ve been ghostwriting for half the western hemisphere. We’ve ghostwritten blogs, ezine articles, e-books – you name it, we’ve dunnit!

I like that, your own personal recession. I'm always on the brink of that one as well. Living job to job is a tough life... I've really got to focus more on the next job before the necessity arises. Would you b/f say it's easier to get a decent job in TH or RP? I'd guess TH, but not sure... as I've not visited PI. I hope you blog here a lot - your writing is always a great read. I read a total of about 9 blogs now, of which yours is one. There are some horrible writers out there... you should be doing something in the field - you didn't mention what it is you're doing - but I hope it has something to do with writing or learning some skill/s that can help you with writing or producing some product... blog, podcast, video cast, pdf book, etc. Take care and good luck! <abbr><em>Vern at AimforAwesomes last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AimForAWESOME/~3/OzbCoiJX6R8/" rel="nofollow">Instant Professional & Awesome Site Design: Wordpress Themes</a></abbr></em> Ok – that makes a lot more sense now… I like that, your own personal recession.
