No wonder you need to keep the aircons on all day in 17 rooms. The hidden cost of sausages - a 17k baht per month air-con bill. So, I guess you're on this thread because of the sterling-baht rate, which as an American must be very important to you; or are you just on your interminable coffee-break?

Thanks for the pity, but it's misplaced as I don't eat that kind of food. Well, most white Americans do come from Europe, so I don't see any reason to assume that having a German family should preclude you from being a US citizen. Somehow your style has always seemed American, but if German you are, so be it, now I understand the wurst. Ah yes, you're a global investor. Great ? good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta feel sorry for those americans.......shame! Americans compensate their lack of geography by being the second most friendly and helpful people we have experienced having lived in half a dozen countries. we got used fast to that little flaw and even had a good laugh once in a while. in 1996 a Singaporean lady who studied with my wife visited us in Florida. we had the neighbours over and one of them asked her "how do you feel that the Chinese communists will take over your country next year?" my wife immediately defused the situation by pointing to our backyard and shouting "look at that big alligator! must be at least 3 meters in length."

DILLIGAD Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 sandwich at home (toasted German bread, German ham, French cheese, sauce Béarnaise and green salad) free. it's made in our kitchen and usually served in my study. why going to a pub for a sandwich and pay for it?
