I'd have to have two favourites:
1) Mr Yarussky, now retired, who taught me maths in Year 10 and Spesh in Year 12. One of the best teachers I've ever had in schooling. Plus, Maths sounds better with a Russian accent.
2) Ms Bekos, who I believe still works at MHS, was my English and form teacher in Year 12. Was one of the nicest teachers I've encountered, wrote a stellar reference for me for my JCU med application, and showed incredible dedication to her students in correcting essays over-night etc etc.
I've got other great teachers from my time at MHS, with Mr James (year 10 science, now retired) and Mr Wood (year 11 Spesh and Year 12 Methods, now retired) stand-outs too, but those two I've highlighted above stand out for me :)

Yeaaaaaaah I'm going to be the buzz-kill and say that's not appropriate, sorry haha. Neither of those teachers taught me so I'm not going to make any comments about either of them. Also it's *Dr Stiglec, he has a PhD :)

I was in Forrest. Thankfully got to taste the Cock House in 2010.
(for those not at MHS: 'Cock House' is the legit name for our house cup)

Assuming you are Indian from your previous post, did you ever go to India?
If so, did you experience any culture chock?
Also, what country have you always wanted to visit?

No idea if this has been asked and answered yet (only skimmed through the AMA thread) but how many decimal places do you know π to off by heart?

Haha yup Indian heritage, although I'll staunchly claim to be true blue Aussie :P I've been to India three times, and honestly, I don't enjoy it. The main reason is because I always get sick LOL. Every time I go I've got some semi-serious infection that's knocked me around for a week or more, I'll stick to countries with clean water and food that my weak untested Aussie immune system can handle haha
As for culture shock, there's no bigger culture shock that just noticing the smell after you walk out of the plane at New Delhi airport. Pretty much sums up the cultural shock haha
Super relevant hahaha:

I'll cheekily copy and paste from earlier in this thread

(to clarify, everyone, the downvote brigade (and pi's 'angry' victim message) is a random IRC joke LOL)
