於是2016年8月4日下午13點，我便在小而美的校園內熟悉環境並隨便詢問來往走動的學生，“你／妳們住在哪裡？離學校近不近？學校校園內有沒有宿舍？一個月房租多少？”一群男同學一邊抽菸一邊單純且可愛的回答我，“離學校最近的有三棟跟X大學合作的私人宿舍，去問問每一棟的宿舍管理員，看看還有沒有空房吧！這三棟每間房每個月房租4700、5000到7000不等，水電另計。”
於是我就趕緊去一棟一棟的問，幸運地，在C學院過條小馬路的對面就有一棟學校宿舍（以下簡稱宿舍6）共四層樓，就這麼剛好一樓還剩一間空套房Room
110（兩張床、兩套床單、兩個枕頭、兩個水泥隔間的吊衣間、一套衛浴），就這麼巧Room 110還絕對是曬不到太陽，就這麼剛好曬衣陽台外面立有一支路燈，這一切的巧合讓我再次感謝，當主角真好，要找房就有房嘞。
於是我當場簽下一年約，2016年8月5日開始住，每月房租5000泰銖，水電另計。我再次感謝那支風雨無阻，早上6點到晚上18點，一天12個小時，永遠堅守崗位照耀我房的路燈。因為有它，我進房從不開燈，我的房間只有一支二手的電風扇（離職的忠厚老實男送我的）以及一台宿舍配的wifi路由器以外，就沒有“用”其他電器了，平均每月水電約150到300泰銖之間。也就是說，我每個月支出5150到5300泰銖在房租水電費上。其他台灣或大陸老師在房租水電費用平均一個月6000到10000泰銖不等；C學院的學生們更是青春洋溢，5300到10000的都大有人在。有位老師做過測試，底租5000泰銖的宿舍，冷氣24小時開著，一個月撐死也就8000泰銖，我在此為他的研究精神點兩個讚啦。
其實6宿舍的每個房間都有附一台電視機和一台大噸位的冷氣機，但我從來不用，我家小戴（Dell
XPS筆電）和六寶（iPhone 6低調又高貴的太空灰）都在C學院的老師辦公室或是6宿舍的學生自習室（以下簡稱common
room）吃飽才進房的。為了省電，前6個月，從下班時間到bed
time，我都待在6宿舍的common
room，上網、看書、辦公、meeting、認識本科和碩士班學生、跟學生們聊天、回答學生們的課業問題……。這個common
room，儼然就是我下班後的簡易辦公室。
簡單說到這裡，我再補充住在6宿舍的優缺點資訊：
1.
優點：
(1)
離工作地點近：我專門找離工作地點最近的宿舍，除了圖上下班方便以外，最重要的原因是，2015年4月我被派駐到泰國曼谷工作四個月，我熟悉泰國的天氣和交通。泰國的暴雨，那是說下就下，不帶打招呼的；泰國的交通，想塞就塞，也沒在跟您客氣的。狂風暴雨時，艷陽高照時，交通顛峰期，女性休養期，每位同事就不約而同地羨慕我就住在學校隔壁，一過馬路就到家。
(2)
絕佳辦公處所：我留在common
room工作，除了想省電以外，還有另外一個原因，泰國學校的辦公室都要上鎖，保潔阿姨下班就會鎖上，是因為中國人勤勞不倦，加班是家常便飯，幾經爭取，辦公室的鎖門工作轉交給C學院的保安伯伯，大概20點左右，保安伯伯就會上來趕人。不想工作到一半被打斷，我只好另尋他處，就是common
room了，沒有冷氣但有風扇，只要有WIFI就能辦公了。
2.
缺點：
(1)
離學生們太近了：這個6宿舍，除了我一個老師以外，其他住戶都是學生。學生們經過common
room一定會進來跟我打招呼，前四個月，每天晚上都有本科的學生捧著上課教材來問我答案，我都會回答，但也因此讓某些老師不高興，認為我撈過界了。
(2)
宿舍電錶會亂跳：
租房最怕遇到惡房東！泰國人也有不誠實、貪小便宜、想訛“中國人”的人民幣的。中國留學生在泰國租房，有時會遇到房東找各式各樣的藉口，目的就是要扣押金。綜合聽過的藉口有：牆上不能黏掛勾（黏一個扣500泰銖）、床墊背面毀壞床架毀損（按二手價計算要賠5000泰銖）、清潔費以人頭計（搬進搬出都要一人付500泰銖）、冷氣機壞了（修理費要賠500泰銖）…，類似這樣的藉口。曾經親眼見過親耳聽過一位泰國房東用英文告訴一位本科的中國留學生，“這8000泰銖的押金對中國人來說不算什麼”。我當下竟是無言以對。
房客把租屋處的家具弄壞了，當然應該要賠償房東損失。前提是要事先說明清楚什麼可以做什麼不能做，放心，泰國人什麼都不會告訴您，等您把事情給做了，泰國宿管會告訴您，“不可以，這樣要罰錢。”泰國對宿舍管理也是缺乏內部控制的，在人治的情況下，不就是假裝不會說英語堅持要您說泰語的泰國房東說了算唄。
另外，如果在您住進去之前，床墊的背面就是壞的，床架正面的部分就是毀損的，房東若是已經對前任房客開罰過一次，又對現任房客再以同樣藉口再罰一次呢？這不是不可能喔！試問這些單純沒有社會經驗的學媽寶學生在住進一間學校安排的宿舍房間時，多少人會去翻開床墊檢查床架呢？經過3個月、6個月、9個月、甚至是1年之後，房東又用床墊背面損壞、床架正面毀損為由，要完全無辜的您再賠一次呢？這樣的經歷，會不會讓身在泰國的異鄉人覺得被欺負了呢？
以上是一位中國本科女留學生的親身經歷，而我相信她，是因為就是我本人陪著她去討要押金的。本來泰國房東堅持8000泰銖的押金一毛不還，還要學生付最後一個月的估算水電費。最後，還是我們有strategy，先拖住這個泰國房東，再請透明屋會講泰語的大陸教務男老師來跟房東說泰語，談判之後，8000泰銖的押金要回了一半。

Manifestations
There are many observable physical phenomena that arise in interactions involving virtual particles. For bosonic particles that exhibit rest mass when they are free and actual, virtual interactions are characterized by the relatively short range of the force interaction produced by particle exchange. Confinement can lead to a short range, too. Examples of such short-range interactions are the strong and weak forces, and their associated field bosons.
For the gravitational and electromagnetic forces, the zero rest-mass of the associated boson particle permits long-range forces to be mediated by virtual particles. However, in the case of photons, power and information transfer by virtual particles is a relatively short-range phenomenon (existing only within a few wavelengths of the field-disturbance, which carries information or transferred power), as for example seen in the characteristically short range of inductive and capacitative effects in the near field zone of coils and antennas.
Some field interactions which may be seen in terms of virtual particles are:
The Coulomb force (static electric force) between electric charges. It is caused by the exchange of virtual photons. In symmetric 3-dimensional space this exchange results in the inverse square law for electric force. Since the photon has no mass, the coulomb potential has an infinite range.
The magnetic field between magnetic dipoles. It is caused by the exchange of virtual photons. In symmetric 3-dimensional space, this exchange results in the inverse cube law for magnetic force. Since the photon has no mass, the magnetic potential has an infinite range.
Electromagnetic induction. This phenomenon transfers energy to and from a magnetic coil via a changing (electro)magnetic field.
The strong nuclear force between quarks is the result of interaction of virtual gluons. The residual of this force outside of quark triplets (neutron and proton) holds neutrons and protons together in nuclei, and is due to virtual mesons such as the pi meson and rho meson.
The weak nuclear force is the result of exchange by virtual W and Z bosons.
The spontaneous emission of a photon during the decay of an excited atom or excited nucleus; such a decay is prohibited by ordinary quantum mechanics and requires the quantization of the electromagnetic field for its explanation.
The Casimir effect, where the ground state of the quantized electromagnetic field causes attraction between a pair of electrically neutral metal plates.
The van der Waals force, which is partly due to the Casimir effect between two atoms.
Vacuum polarization, which involves pair production or the decay of the vacuum, which is the spontaneous production of particle-antiparticle pairs (such as electron-positron).
Lamb shift of positions of atomic levels.
The Impedance of free space, which defines the ratio between the electric field strength |E| and the magnetic field strength |H |: Z0 = | E|⁄|H|.[8]
Much of the so-called near-field of radio antennas, where the magnetic and electric effects of the changing current in the antenna wire and the charge effects of the wire's capacitive charge may be (and usually are) important contributors to the total EM field close to the source, but both of which effects are dipole effects that decay with increasing distance from the antenna much more quickly than do the influence of "conventional" electromagnetic waves that are "far" from the source.[a] These far-field waves, for which E is (in the limit of long distance) equal to cB, are composed of actual photons. Actual and virtual photons are mixed near an antenna, with the virtual photons responsible only for the "extra" magnetic-inductive and transient electric-dipole effects, which cause any imbalance between E and cB. As distance from the antenna grows, the near-field effects (as dipole fields) die out more quickly, and only the "radiative" effects that are due to actual photons remain as important effects. Although virtual effects extend to infinity, they drop off in field strength as 1⁄r2 rather than the field of EM waves composed of actual photons, which drop 1⁄r.[b][c]
Most of these have analogous effects in solid-state physics; indeed, one can often gain a better intuitive understanding by examining these cases. In semiconductors, the roles of electrons, positrons and photons in field theory are replaced by electrons in the conduction band, holes in the valence band, and phonons or vibrations of the crystal lattice. A virtual particle is in a virtual state where the probability amplitude is not conserved. Examples of macroscopic virtual phonons, photons, and electrons in the case of the tunneling process were presented by Günter Nimtz[9] and Alfons A. Stahlhofen.[10]
