Why Do I Live In Thailand?/Why Do I Not Live In My Birth Country?

Life in the west sucks big time as we all know.

Really? Dead-end job, divorced and living in some dreary dump, I presume.

I quite like many, many parts of the west and many, many aspects of life.

Maybe you went to a different West. Did you go to Fred West's? Boddies in the kitchen, Tennents under the stairs...

Or was yours the same West that the Monkey-King journeyed to?

Or the Wild West?

Its a big place, the West, and not all the same... Ask the cider-drinkers. Its all Union down there...

Pops said 'the west' en gros . . . I merely mentioned 'many parts of the west'.

It's OK for tourists, but sucks big time to live there.

Huge unemployment, high crime, big drug problems, locals fit in with 'Deliverance' but not bright enough to play the banjo, etc.

(We are talking about the West of England, aren't we?)

I agree. Whether it be the metropolitan glamour of Glasgow, or the parks of New York, the wide open spaces of the North French plains, or the orderly cities of Canada, there is so much variety.

However, for the benefit of our fellow posters, its probably easier to keep to no more than two classifications - West / East, Thai / Farang, Thai-Chinese / farm girl, cynic / loser.

I put myself in the no-sense-of-humour category; its the other clowns who say the funny things...

I cannot argue with either bout of logic you presented!
