O level Physics help / BURMA!??

Hi!

I have been teaching O level GCSE Physics here for 3 months. We have little contacts for rescources, I wonder if I could make contact with another person teaching this , maybe in UK or Singapore?

I use a book from Singapore, I think,written by See Tho Weng Fong/Loo Wamn Yong for which I have no answer sheets, and also other similar rescources for which I have no answers. Most are pretty easy to calculate but sometimes I need another opinion.

Also I know little about how this course is taught in other places, and it would just be nice to have a knowledgeable teacher to contact once in a while.
