Hi. I'm Jason, 24, from Singapore. I'm on exchange in Thailand and will be here for about 18 weeks - longer if I decide to stay on for a second semester. I thought I'd say hi to all forum members. Oookay...that's all for now I guess. Happy New Year and have a nice day!
Hi Jason! Welcome to SGT and welcome to Thailand! It's not often we get a nice new young poster here. Most of us are way older!
I assume you are in Bangkok. I guess lots of guys would be happy to meet up with you to show you around. But I'm sure you probably know Bangkok quite well. If not, we're here to help. Good luck!

Thanks for the warm welcome and for the offer to help. I'm in Chiang Mai not Bangkok and I'm the only one from my uni studying at CMU. I did a four-week stint in Bangkok last year but that was a special program tailored for students from my uni and we did the homestay thing. Bangkok was fun but I thought I'd try some place different this year and I'm liking Chiang Mai thus far although it was a bit cold and damp today. I opted to stay off campus for some independence and privacy - uni hostels never sleep. I have a great room off Suthep Road with all the mod-cons and many cheap eateries and snack bars within walking distance. Chiang Mai's Orchard Road ie Huay Kaew Road is just a short ride away. We started classes this week. I'm doing language classes and a modern Thai history course taught in English. It's week one so we're pretty much in the honeymoon/orientation stage. My classmates are mostly from Korea and Japan; there's one Burmese guy, an Australian girl and a couple of Americans we haven't seen much of, one of whom is a hot Latino. I hope to pick up some Spanish by the end of the semester - it never hurts to have an additional language on one's...err...tongue.

I was going to give a like to this last post but curiously the like button is missing, and yes I am logged in. Moses has already given a "like" to this post, so perhaps some glitch? All the other posts in this thread have the "like" button available. FYI

Why do I smell a windup? Am I the only one?
Wind up of what? I received a similar warning by private message:
"The Forum often suffers from tsunamis of vitriol and bile from all the old queens who have nothing better to do. Good luck."

No. I wouldn't be the least surprised if the op turned out to be a troll.
Nonetheless, welcome to the forum and good luck with your studies.
Why would you make your very positive second comment, the more so when it follows your very negative first comment?
In my view, nothing in sglad's posts to date have suggested a troll. His posts certainly make a great deal more sense than those of some long term members! Don't give them the time of day, Jason! Hopefully there will be more younger members joining this Board.
