Coromind On Air started with a simple idea: turn the camera on, hit record, and let the community speak.

If you have ever wondered when the best time in life is to learn a new language, then you’re in luck because a ton of study has gone into this.
When I started working at Coromandel Outdoor Language Centre in 1990, I knew very little about Saudi Arabia, except that it had a lot of oil and a lot of sand.
A while ago I was very fortunate to be selected to travel to Japan, representing New
Zealand, at the Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminar, in Kōhoku, a town in Saga Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan.
Continuing on from Part 1 in which I discussed non-judgement of Thai working girls, I did judge another girl around the hotel pool one day, but she wasn’t Thai.
