Tightest Thai budget

[GammaGlobulin]

I don't spend much on omelets. 

 

If I were to feel the need to spend more, which I do not, then I really think I might move to Chappaquiddick. 

 

Nobody messes with you on Chappaquiddick, if you belong there. 

 

There is really nothing here that justifies spending much money on. 

 

Mostly, it's bananas and rice, as far as the eye can see. 

 

Once you've seen one banana, you've seen them all. 

 

The houses are mostly dilapidated and filled with geckos, chirping. 

 

What is it, REALLY, that you would wish to spend much money on? 

 

I don't know. 

Maybe I have become a bit jaded after over 45 years. 

 

But, there is really nothing here worth a dollah... 

 

Maybe, instead of coming here to Asia and the South Pacific, you should just stay at home, and read a few cautionary tales written by Michener. 

 

One thing is for GD sure.... 

 

Hell might freeze over before you ever become accepted, probably on account of your nose. 

 

In my opinion, there is really no place in Asia that the Farang will ever be accepted, completely. 

 

Therefore, spend as much as you can, in order to fit in,... for awhile. 

 

I just mean, WTF, you might probably expect that I have gleaned SOMETHING after over 45 years here. 

 

But, actually, more than 45 years. It seems that I have already lost count! 

 

No. I have been here 52 years, with 6 years off, for good behavior, at universities. 

 

And so, IMHO, there is nothing here worth spending much money on. 

 

But, really... IF I had the cash.. I would buy a Monet. 

 

Monet often painted dark and cloudy harbor scenes, which I love. 

 

I know that you know the ones I mean. 

 

So, if I had Bt.20,000, then I would buy a Monet. 

 

Otherwise, it's omellets for me.
