Perils of Teaching in Asia

Well, it's not that dangerous if you use your head. Apparently Edna did:

Edna Waga went abroad to teach in a pre-school in Thailand when former co-teacher who recruited her, instructed her to go to Brazil to meet an anonymous person, who would give her a package to bring back to Thailand.

“I got so afraid that I left my hotel room and went to a police station, where I asked for the address of the Philippine embassy (in Brazil),” Waga told reporters, saying she was promised with hefty amounts of money to do the job. “Do not trust anybody, even your own friends (when you’re traveling abroad). Big amount of money is not worth it,” she added after foreign officials told her she could have been used as a drug mule.

I have to add, though, that when something "might have happened" it's not really much of a news story. File under "could've been bad, and it's a slow news day anyway."
