I am one of the many that reside here in Thailand because I love my wife and the country ..simple enough.

Having experienced many of the dramas recorded on TV..i.e. ripped off, robbed, screwed , cheated, frustrated by action or inaction. I have now formulated a simple question to myself. "Could or would this have happened in my home or any other country?" amazing ( or maybe not) how often the answer is a simple "yes". Then its time to say to myself "get over it". Enough said.

losing your home in England after slitting from wife/gf is called a = divorce = here ripped off = same same but different

call centres manned by Indian call centre workers who can't speak your = lingo = here no speak English = same same but different

workers who don't show up for appointment = no answer from bell = here traffic jam = same same but different

take a girl out for dinner and dance = go on a date and hope for hanky panky = here bg = same same but different

I think perhaps he's talking about a paradigm shift. Or perhaps it's paradigm lost :D

From the title i thought you were looking for pithy sentiments along the line of:

I drink, therefore I am.

but, as thats not the case, nevermind.
