In response to "Schools in Thailand"

Yep. Uniforms. Short >>> long pants. Fighting is seen in movies, but I sense less violence in general in-real-life. Respect is absolute.

I'm sleeping on the floor tonight.

He'll survive that aspect of school.

In response to ""Sir...Your Disorder Is Ready""

I have made great progress on my trip. Leave on the 19th here; arrive on the 21st in Kuala Lumpur. I will leave Penang on the 1st for a short flight to Phuket, stay 2 days then fly to Udon Thani... avoiding Bangkok. I'll be in Ayutthaya on the 15-17th of December. I may have time to see you before or after.

I also have no plans for January yet.

Pan is driving my bonkers; but, I'm slowly understanding that much of it is cultural and how he uses language.

As for HOCD... some of us are just who we are. I've always been left-handed. That wasn't always acceptable and many suffered from the labels.

I remind Pan that he's handsome just the way he is. I'll repeat that until he accepts that.

In response to "The Rain in Spain..."

I have my new passport (plans not finalised). I'll be headed your way.

Up for a visit?

I love the rain...

Udon Thani... dry. 31-34°/18-24°. Warming up for a couple days later this week. I'm looking forward to the cooler nights.

In response to "Ignorance is Bliss"

Pannya also has limited knowledge outside of singing, modeling, selling. He knows the rituals and loves a good massage and eating out. He does speak some English.

But... in the USA, many didn't vote for various reasons. Ignorance is bliss?

In response to "Save or Regret"

I have lost posts for various reasons. I have to be careful about letting my guard down. I had decent internet connection with dtac. Here... there are times...

I must memorize คุณต้องการทำอะไร?

In response to "The Easiest Way to Lose Weight"

Communication across culture and language... been there more than once.

Just be you. Just be 'there'.

In response to "A Third World Affliction"

Yep. Foreigners have the impression that they can do whatever they want. Same in Costa Rica. Not living by rules and common sense has consequences.

Tap water can be an issue. I boiled water or used filtered water.

Papaya salad though... just encourage Nada to use filtered water. It's the "National Dish of Isaan" and could be an insult to not eat it. I can't eat it myself because of the chilis. I like green papaya cooked.

In response to "Jesus Who?"

As a non-Christian I don't believe in the Christian notion of Hell.

Pan is a devout Buddhist by how he acts. I've seen him in action.

Actions (as in the Book of James) speak louder than words or money imho.

In response to "How To Avoid the Scam in Three Easy Steps"

Pan and I had to come up with an agreement. He pushed at times (yes, he's Thai). I just sent him a birthday gift (October 14th is his birthday). It's not a loan.

I never told him my income. I think that he thinks it's more than it is. He wouldn't understand how money works for me regardless.

Udon Thani is known for cross cultural hook-ups. The good, the bad and treacherous.

In response to "Micro-Managed"

Ah... Isaan... never spicy enough. Don't take it personally.

Street food can be awesome. I like roti, chicken livers, fried chicken or fish. 7/11 also helps.

The Wish

Yesterday, I was talking to an entity I call Cranky Pants. He is always down, and no matter how much I tried to cheer him up, he wasn't buying it. So I told him if I had only one wish, I would give it to him. This piqued his interest somewhat, especially when I began questioning him about what he would do with his one wish.

I ran through the usual things that one would consider...happiness? No. Money? No. Friends? No. World peace? A cure for cancer? He still wasn't smiling, so I ran through a few lesser wishes he might want...but nothing I suggested worked for him. I then told him how good I would have felt if I had given him my one wish. So I suggested that he could give away his wish, and when I told him what a beautiful thing that would be for him to do, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

I said how cool it would be if the person he gave his wish to gave it away to another person... and so on until that one wish brought happiness to all eight billion people on planet Earth. It occurred to me that my one wish would eventually arrive back where it began and repeat its journey all over again...one wish bringing endless happiness to the world.

Of course, Cranky Pants changed his mind about what he wanted to do with his wish. I didn't bother to ask him any more questions about what he would do with it.

For a while, I felt a bit down. As if anyone would give away a wish, especially if they had only one. But then it occurred to me that I wouldn't have had a clue what I would wish for anyway...but I'm sure that if I did, it wouldn't have brought me as much joy as if I had just given it away.
