W. if you could afford it. would you rather live back in the Western world where you were born? 

 

 

No way.

 

But people here are like free-floating atomic particles. The vast majority of the molecules in the universe never leave their little carbon cluster.

 

Is that good or bad? I say: Good. Free-floating atoms want to float. Freely.

 

I have been ruined for the west by $2 cappuccino's. If I ever go back, I'll be kicking myself whenever I order one.

 

But expecting a Thai person to big up you for going to Mai Sai is a guaranteed disappointment. They have never gone to a place just out of curiousity and they never will.
