The landscape is a bit boring, but there is no better place in the world to find solitude...even to the point of losing your life. The ones I met were called Yanti or Yanni or Miki or... Great place to ride a bike though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 You can be 'bored' for multiple reasons. I retired when I was 50 when we were living in Singapore. I decided against my wife's better judgment that we move to Thailand. First few years of doing f@@ck all was great. But it ended up there are only so many books to read, so much TV to watch. I was bored outta my skull. I would have loved to be able to go volunteer at the local school to teach English, Math, Physics or anything. I am a Material Scientist by education, so probably more qualified that any of the local educators, but of course i couldn't. It forced our hand to move back to the US. My wife restarted her career, and I got a part time job with an airline. Now at least I have a reason to get out of bed in the morning. When my wife gets home we can have the 'how was your day' conversation. I know that sounds terribly boring, but for some of us, work is sorta part of life, which I only discovered after giving it up too early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
