Probably, most people this age get injured due to unwarranted aggressive behavior.  Fortunately, I am a reader. I love to read good books.  I did not come to Thailand to fight.  I did not come to Thailand to box, either.  When you come here, first learn the language, which might require about four years of your time.  Then, after that....just chill.  If you want to fight, then return to the UK, and attend a football rodeo.  I HATE football, either American style or Brit style.  Young people should, alternatively, learn to row. By the time one has finished rowing about 20,000 meters, in one afternoon, then.... Nobody has enough energy to fight.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 13:00:47 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Is quality of life worse in developed countries than in SE Asia?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394977-is-quality-of-life-worse-in-developed-countries-than-in-se-asia/?do=findComment&comment=20516903]]></link><description>*Condos  Buying second hand often mitigates loss.
