Joseph Conrad and my Heart of Darkness: Otherwise...Why would we be here?
Dear Folks, Have you ever wondered why we end up, washed up, and washed ashore, in these foreign lands? Maybe it's not the same for you as it is for me. If you really want to know, as Holden Caulfield once opined, why we end up here in these faraway lands, I can only share with you my own personal reasons and motivation for being here in Thailand. When I was a mere 13, I began reading Joseph Conrad, an author who wrote about one white man an many natives in foreign lands. He also wrote about typhoons, and great evil. I became enthralled by the possibility of experiencing fantastic adventures in exotic lands, replete with inhabitants of darker shades. In fact, I read, and re-read, so much of Joseph Conrad that...now.... Here I am. After first cracking my first Conrad, my fate became..... nothing more than a fete accompli. I even went to sea, just to see what that might be like, and to see what I could see. In my case, I now know that I was meant to be here where I am; and this was my destiny, beginning the moment I read the first word of one of Conrad's stories. I am only saying that I do know why I am here. But, what is your excuse? Also, what is your favorite Conrad story? I never much liked Heart of Darkness. I think one of my favorite stores of his was Typhoon. I have even seen quite a few typhoons in my life. But they have only very rarely measured up to Conrad's description of them. By the way, I guess most know that Conrad was not considered to be a native-English writer. Given this, how beautifully did he write!!!! You can read the full novella on Gutenberg, if you have a mind to..... Here: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1142/1142-h/1142-h.htm I have always loved Asia for just being Asia. And you? If you do not feel the same.... Then why are you here, anyway??? For the Farang Condo Compounds??? Those are not for me. Wish I could return to Conrad's world. In my dreams. Best regards, Gamma Note4: Is it Sunday? -

Criminal property damage , worth pursuing?
If it were me, I'd definitely go to the police and report it. Visit the police station dressed nicely, be extremely polite, cross your fingers that you get a sympathetic and helpful officer and it should be resolved in your favour quickly. -
