    Cross-Cultural name game turns diamonds into dung

    B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 19/02/2012

    » I once had a student who was preparing for a trip to Australia. He was a 30-year-old engineer from Chiang Mai who'd won a three-month scholarship to Melbourne. His English wasn't great but he was a fast learner and extremely diligent. Anyway, it wasn't his English that bothered me.
