  1. Why is there no option for "Go about my life as normal, because it's no big deal"?

    That would be the "Im Thaier than you" option, includes yerself and Suradit by the look of things

    Sorry but is it written somewhere that if you're an expat, you're obliged to complain about Songkran?

    If people don't like it,(fair enough), then just sod off for a few days or stay home

    Me, I like it. Girls in wet t-shirts and clingy hot pants?

    What's not to like?

    Perhaps when you get the chance to take her home and you find out that she's got a bigger one than you.?

    Is this thread about personal tales?

  2. why don't the Thai people ever put North on the top?

    Give a Thai a map with north facing in the usual direction and they always give it a spin. You know at that point you are hooped.

    Stand on the street and ask a Thai friend which way north is and often they will point straight up.

    Asia and Africa are not map cultures. When in Africa, a friend of mine (Kenya) who had

    a masters in law from a European university lament to me she, and her

    friends/countrymen just could not understand maps. So I pulled out a map to try to

    understand why. It was a complete revelation to her when I told her that on a proper map

    the top of the map was always North. And that knowing East and West from the sun

    rising and setting she could orient the map where she was She had no idea. So I asked

    he how Kenyans got around. She said simple. If you want to go to that village you take

    that trail, and to go to the outer village you get there with another trail. So she new how

    to get to any other village by taking specific trails. But she did want to learn about maps.

    Now you know why it was Europeans showing up to colonize Asia and Africa instead of Asians and Africans showing up to colonize Europe,

    And now the middle east has begun the colonization of Europe, ahhh, the joys of history.
