On 4th July 2009, Chiang Mai University (CMU) held their annual welcome walk up Doi Suthep for their freshmen, or as the locals call them: freshy. It probably sounds like a great idea - building friendship and comaradarie among the new students by doing an activity together.

They remain open to tour buses, cars, songthaews. Songthaews are the worst: spewing black and smelly fumes all the way up the mountain side. So instead of getting fresh air, you have to breathe in all these toxic fumes. Many of the senior students hire songthaews as their logistic and support vehicles, and sometimes as ambulances.Well,...

“Rush” and “living in the fast lane” are typical descriptions that characterise the Singaporean lifestyle. In terms of cost of living, the city state ranks among the most expensive cities in Asia to live in. This is one reason why it is hard to find quality services at affordable prices.

We can not deny the fact that some types of employment still refuse to admit them, even though they are well...

The 10 ASEAN nations would participate in the fund, which was to be operational by May...
