    Secular Indonesian groups warn govt to save democracy

    I was chatting to a bloke who mentioned he was a TOK teacher. I hadn't heard the acronym before so he explained that it stood for Theory of Knowledge and had to do with critical thinking and how we know what we know. I thought that was a great idea and would be really beneficial for all...

    ESL Jobs in Bogor

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
