i must admit i like the warm weather, hot chicks, and cold beer !!!  but those things can be found in alot of other countries in the world.  i really like the easy lifestyle in bangkok.  i don't need a car, taxis are cheap.  i can get to most places i need to by walking and/or taking the BTS/MRT.  i like HK for the same reasons but it is a bit expensive to rent a place !! 

I like your post but I didn't understand the abbreviations

The many differences in sight, sound and smell from the old country makes life here a continuing journey of discovery.

 

When the wife enters the driveway I can tell that durian season has begun purely using my olfactory organ. A neighbor more than 40 meters away has an even more sensitive nose and quickly arrives ready to partake in the feasting. 

The pungent aromas of the local farmer burning rubbish often punctuate the evenings smells.

 

I know I've left the nanny state far behind when the lads on their unmufflered bikes start their nightly drag races on nearby roads. The cacophony of the fighting cocks in the nearby farm lulls me off to sleep every night. Such sounds are forbidden where I came from.

As a kid a yearly highlight was Guy Fawkes night when we got to set off skyrockets and use explosives to blow up disliked neighbors letterboxes. OK, a few kids lost the occasional finger, but they shouldn't have banned it for everybody!  Here, every night can be Guy Fawkes night and adults get to play like kids! (Temporarily toned down for the mourning period)

 

I like the fact that you don't have to venture out to observe wildlife. 

Eagles and hawks circle overhead, and flying ants periodically swarm to your lights if you leave the door open at the wrong time. Geckos, frogs and toads come to gorge.

Last year a 4' cobra came into the living room to elicit a riot.  Millipedes march steadfastly around the house searching for who knows what. Occasionally their lessor footed, but fleeter of foot, cousins dash in and get dashed into oblivion. A couple of nights ago I found myself wondering why there was a large dead leaf on the blind in the bathroom, it turned out to be a butterfly heavily in disguise! 

I once found myself entertained by a lost firefly blinking it's way around the darkened bedroom and never quite learning that the overhead fan should be avoided. Large, ugly squirrels run along the power lines and pilfer from fruit trees. Bats swoop on the pool for a drink. Buffalo and egrets wander the nearby fields and a couple of months ago an elephant sauntered past the house.

Colourful, hairy and exotic looking caterpillars abound in the garden, but find themselves all called  "worms"  by the family gardener and put down, in much the same way western men are classified and treated in the home country.

 

I wouldn't go back to the inanity of my former life under any circumstance.

 

wow, I could read your stories all day, what a lovely  post.Thankyou.

You could send him a private message though because he might know that you are kissing his butt in public.:cheesy:
