Hi Margy,
As a human being who's interested in other countries, as well as loving the teaching jobs I do, I tend to agree with what you say. However, as one who has signed a contract that states that I'll obey the laws of the country in which I work, I don't agree. I suggest that it's far better to be legal and avoid any hassles later than to incur the weight of the law should one be caught. How can we, on one hand say that we respect a country's culture if we, at first, can't respect a country's laws?
I don't reply to open a can of worms or cause a problem. I merely make this comment as an attempt to inform. Your posts are always informative and I hope life's going well for you.
Just my 2 cents worth (again)
