Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I would love to hear more about your daily life, say in the "What did you do today?" thread as well as your impressions of living in Thailand. I spent two years in Thailand in the early 70's on Uncle Sam's dime. I would even consider getting on an airplane for a trip there. The traffic throughout Thailand was more like a free-for-all back then. Has that changed?
From what I understand Bangkok is totally different than it was even 10 years ago. BKK is both a very modern international city and also very rural thai at the street level. The traffic is a little crazy. Rules of the road are just guidelines but you get used to it. I have a driver's license but I only use it outside the city. I came for a couple of years before deciding to stay. The food and the people are wonderful. My lasting impression is that I feel very "free" here. It has been nice to make a change in my life.
