I'm interested in learning about other country's lives in schools! Here in the Philippines, we go to school (at least high school) from around 7:00 AM to 4-5:00 PM. We don't change classrooms; the teachers do. I've been to two schools before, actually. One had mixed Chinese and English classes, while the other one had English for the morning and Chinese in the afternoon. The previous one, we didn't have any lockers. We just brought a box to school and that's where we keep our books. In my second school, we have lockers.Well that's as much info as I can think of about high schools in the Philippines!What about the systems in your school?

I think it's easier to use forum hostings than setting up your own because, well, setting up a forum is pretty hard. And at least you save some space So what do you guys use? I found Forumer (both Invision Power Board), and they seem to be pretty good. Any comments on those two? Or are there better ones? Or do you prefer to run it on your own?

So what's the best HTML editor? Or at least what you use? I searched in Google, and they (of course) all claim to be good, and I think they are. But what do you guys use? (Or do you just use Notepad? )Oh yeah, I'd prefer free ones! B)Edit: Can someone move this post? I'm so sorry but I posted in the wrong forum...

I would have one go to school and the others doing what they want That's what most peole would say, right? Especially now that school has just started *sigh*

English But I'm a Filipina, so Tagalog. But I'm 50% Chinese, so I know some Chinese (not enough to read newspapers, watch Chinese series or other complicated stuff though!) And since I like watching anime and even bought a book on learning Japanese, I know some Japanese phrases, and a little in grammar

So you're Chinese too?

Photoshop CS is new, right? I want to get it, but of course you have to pay again! I use Photoshop 7 a lot. I tried The GIMP last time too, but I'm more familiar with PS.MS Paint? I only used it twice: when our computer was new and when I was doing pixel stuff. I'm really impressed with people who are good at MS Paint, because it's actually harder (with no layers and all...)!

I'm using Windows XP Professional and I'm not getting that much problems I actually update rarely, but I have Norton SystemWorks. I think that's really helpful...

About firewalls, I don't have any idea about those, but how do you tell it to not block ports? I get slow downloads in BitTorrent because of the firewall thing

Well, I've always used Internet Explorer because it's always included I want to try Opera!I thought it was free, but I guess not. There's a free download though. Is that, like, only a free trial? And should I get the Java or non-Java version?

edit: I might as well edit this post due to the post below...I had no idea...
