Chiangmai is quite correct, we're mostly jealous. Enjoy it all and take as much as you can from everyday - good luck mate.

You're all acting like I'm American or British I don't travel to get drunk and fight like the Brits and I don't try to force my foreign policy all over the world like the Yanks.

I'm not an arrogant ignorant whelp that's travelling to "get laid and party it up" I'm travelling to experience the unexperienced and open my eyes to the rest of the world. I live in Canada... so you could say I live in a sheltered world and I want to get to know the rest of the world. I want to go to India aswell. Open my eyes to how great I have it in Canada...

Wrong move there Jesse. Don't generalize the British and Americans or anyone for that matter. A few posters haven't been particularly kind to you but why come up with such a comment like this? In my opinion it just shows the imaturity of a nineteen year old using words he didn't think about.

Think before you post in future

... And prepare for many flames, you can dish out the dirt lets see how you respond to people giving you the dirt. Not with imature posts I hope Jesse.

He's not a bad guy. He just emailed me and claims the admin banned him for 3 days for this comment.

I don't think that is correct.

He is logged on and reading this thread at the moment

Jesse,    a lot of us here are are Brit or Aussie and we enjoy taking the piss out of one another. It's nothing personal just our sense of humour.

I'm a Brit and could not agree with you more about the behaviour of a lot of my fellow countrymen when abroad.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My Brit friend from work was the one that told me "English travel to get drunk and fight" hah

I love joking around as much as anyone... when the time's right and when it's actually sarcasm or such, you guys need to work on conveying your humour over the net or just give it up

Dues - Ha! I've been taught to respect others and their ways of life so I'll stick to my gameplan.

Sir Burr - I don't look forward to the feeling either... at least it'll be university and not work! I've come to love school over the work I was doing.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

We Brits don't travel to get drunk and fight. We're quite capable of getting drunk and fighting without leaving home, thank you very much

Thanks a lot Harry.

canadian jessie

8 less hours $200

hour instead of $20 with high rise concrete form carpentry (what I quit)

where i come from 8 hours at 20 = 160.

14 days and counting

dont miss your flight pal.

I leave Nov 4th

i reckon 14 days from the 22nd brings you to nov 5th.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I love how ignorant you are purposefully mispelling my name when it's right there infront of you.

I was thinking in what I'll make at the pipe plant for 8 hours. I was doing some calculations.

The 5th hey? Well hate to tell that our time zone differences are quite different meaning I wrote that on the 21st my time

Gosh, people really need to think before they spew forth such filth.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

For one who does not spell 'probably' correctly, you were very well paid! And yes, 8 x 20 = 160, not 200!

Don't need to spell much with high rise construction I'll say it again... read the whole thread before replying. I was writing some stuff down and going over pay stubs when I wrote that and the 200 = what I'll make if I want to work with my dad when I get back.

All y'all fools can blow me 'cause I'm the free one

When I was 19 I certainly wasn't wasting my time telling all and sundry what I was going to do on an internet forum.....

I was out there doing it!

hel_l yeah...................

All y'all fools can blow me

Erm, Jesse, you sure y'all Canadian n all?

Shouldn't have quit your job, sounds like you're a few loonies short of a safe landing... also, methinks you're going to discover just how 'free' Thailand is

PS, pls avoid any further slagging off of other Nationalities or I'll have no choice but to report you to the department of un-Canadianlike activities. Now, go to your room and think about what you've done

Great.

I SOOOOOOO want to respond to this kid, but one of our fellow tv-commers won´t let me.

Why? ye may wonder....

The truthful answer is I really really really want to slag....
